Question

Anna employs Mark to purchase for her a suitable site for a roller rink. Mark owns a huge site himself and sells it to Anna at fair market value without disclosing to her that he is the owner of the land. Mark has not breached his fiduciary duty to his principal.

a) true
b) false

Answer 1

Fiduciary

Step-by-step explanation:

A fiduciary is a person that is appointed to protect the interests of his principal.

He should ensure that all transactions favor his principal maximally. It also entails full disclosure.

In this case, Mark was going to be the beneficiary of the sale. Even if the site was sold at fair market value, Mark has responsibility to fully disclose the source of the transaction to Anna.

Conflict of duty is when the fiduciary benefits from his position. This is not allowed.
