Correct After filing for Chapter 11 protection, the management of a firm has a 120-day window in which it has the exclusive right to offer up plans for dealing with the company's reorganization. The courts may extend this period at the request of management, but will eventually turn the control over to creditors.

Question 4
Y Co. is having some mild-to-serious financial difficulty. However, it has decided to voluntarily enter Chapter 11 bankruptcy. What is one of the primary reasons why the firm may have chosen to do so?
Correct
Incorrect!
Correct One of the key reasons that a firm might select a Chapter 11 reorganization is to eliminate or reform any contracts that it may have with labor unions or other collective bargaining organizations. The reason for this is that the Chapter 11 filing allows the firm to negotiate with such organizations, so long as it is in good faith, to alter and amend such contracts without any civil breach of the contract.

Question 5
SmallTime, Inc. is a corporation with $1 million in assets, mostly in real estate. What bankruptcy filing would likely be the best for the firm?
Correct
Incorrect!
Correct
Incorrect!
Correct You may have been tempted to answer this question with answer 'A'. The reason why this answer comes up short is the fact that SmallTime has a variety of real estate assets, thus making it ineligible for the Chapter 11 'short-cut' filing. As such, a Chapter 7 filing would be appropriate if the firm does not expect to have any assets to continue business operations after the bankruptcy action is complete.
