Answer:
How much do you make in interest in a year?
<u>$ 1100</u>
How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep up with inflation in that year?
<u>$ 1782
</u>
How much buying power did you lose in that year because of inflation?
<u>$ 682
</u>
Explanation:
Your interest formula is given to you.
Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring)
Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100
How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation? Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise prices are going up faster than you're saving.
Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782
How much buying power did you lose? The difference between your required interest and your actual interest.
Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682. You lost this much in buying power.

Answer:
win based on strict liability
Explanation:
Strict liability is a liability that is imposed on party by the claimant that proves that an action occurred and the defendant is responsible for it.
This provision does not require the claimant to prove a fault by the defendant. It is mostly used when an action is considered dangerous.
In this scenario Mike was blasting some holes in rocks. This is a dangerous activity that can cause harm.
Myra who broke her legs in the explosion only needs to prove Mike was responsible for the explosion that occurred for her to win based on strict liability provision.
Answer: c. gain on disposal of $140000.
Explanation:
The cost of the equipment is $260,000.
When the fire occurred, the book value of the equipment was:
= Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation
= 260,000 - 100,000
= $160,000
A check of $300,000 was received from insurance. The gain on disposal is:
= Replacement cost - book value
= 300,000 - 160,000
= $140,000
This amount will be credited to the Gain on Disposal account because an increase is credited.
