Roofing Issues. Sally agrees to roof a house for Bob. After doing his research, Bob chooses Sally based on her great reputation

for being conscientious and doing good work. Bob knows little about roofing and stays away from all the noise involved. Sally provides her own tools for herself and other workers, sets her own schedule, and charges a flat rate of $10,000 to be paid when the job is completed. Sally hires Trudy, Glen, and Fred to help with the roofing. She pays them an hourly rate, supervises their work, provides them with tools and materials, and sets their schedules. Curious about what is going on there, Bob's friend Spencer walks by the house while the roofing is being done. Glen absentmindedly throws some old shingles off the roof and hits Spencer in the head, resulting in him going to the local emergency room and receiving a couple of stitches in his scalp. Spencer decides to sue all the roofers, Bob, and Sally for his hospital expenses and for pain and suffering. Which of the following is the most likely characterization of Trudy, Glen, and Fred in relation to Sally?
a. Spencer will win, because Glen was acting within the scope of his employment; therefore, Sally is liable for his negligence
b. Spencer will lose, because Glen was not acting within the scope of his employment; therefore, Sally is not liable for his negligence.
c. Spencer will win because regardless of whether Glen was acting within the scope of his employment, Sally is liable for his negligence
d. Spencer will lose because regardless of whether Glen was acting within the scope of his employment, Sally has no liability.
e. Spencer and Sally will split the damages equally

Answer:

C. Spencer will win because regardless of whether Glen was acting within the scope of his employment, Sally is liable for his negligence

Explanation:

Spencer will win the lawsuit and Sally is liable for negligence.

This is because, Sally was the person originally hired to do the roofing job.

She hired other workers to help her with the job, so she's liable to their actions and inactions.

Sally is operating under a working agreement (contract) and has already charged a fee of $10,000 so any punitive damages would be her responsibility.

Spencer was moving around and Glen threw some roofing shingles without any word of warning to people that might be in harm's way. So for Glenn's actions, Sally is liable for his negligence.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

YTM = 3.094%

Explanation:

If you can't calculate the YTM using excel or a financial calcualtor, you can do it by hand using the approximation formula:

<h2>YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}}</h2>

C = interest payment = 1,000 x 6%/2 = 30

F = face value = 1,000

P = 985,63

n = payment periods = 10 years x 2 payment per year

<h2>YTM = \frac{30+ \frac{1000-958.63}{20 }}{\frac{1000+958.63}{2}}</h2>

YTM = 3.094%

Notice, this YTM is an approximation

A construction company plans to build a certain number of apartment buildings and stores on a piece of land. This PPC shows the
Bond [772]

Answer 1) Option B) Shift to the right.

Explanation : If the amount of land available to the company increases, the PPC will shift to the right. As the graph indicates, the PPC will grow by shifting on right side as the company is acquiring more land for building purpose.

Answer 2) Option C) Remain Unchanged.

Explanation : The company realizes it cannot construct any buildings on a portion of the land because it is at risk of a cave-in.

In this case, the PPC will remain unchanged. When the company realizes that no construction can be done on the portion of land because of its hollowness the PPC will remain to be undisturbed.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$4,835

Explanation:

The computation of the payment made by Long is shown below:

= Sale value of video system - discount + freight charges

where,

Discount = Sale value × discount rate

               = $6,000 × 2%

               = $1,200

The other items  values remain the same

Now put all the values to the above formula,

So, the value would be equal to

= $6,000 - $1,200 + $35

= $4,835

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

She pays the inheritance tax , while the estate is responsible for the estate tax.

Explanation:

Inheritance tax is a form of tax that every beneficiary of an inherited estate must pay. Regardless of the situation and location of the inherited property , inheritance tax is calculated individually for different beneficiary.

The estate in which a particular property is located is responsible for the estate tax. This is calculated based on the value of the property and paid by the estate management for all properties within the estate before rents are remitted to the landlords.
