Retired utility workers are suing their former employer for knowingly exposing them to asbestos without warning them of the health risks. The retired workers did not learn of the prolonged exposure until long after their retirement because the company engaged in a systematic cover up of the exposure. The retired workers' cause of action is for which of the following?

a. Assault
b. Battery
c. Injurious falsehood
d. Tortious interference

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Battery

Explanation:

Retired utility workers are suing their former employer for knowingly exposing them to asbestos without warning them of the health risks. The retired workers did not learn of the prolonged exposure until long after their retirement because the company engaged in a systematic cover up of the exposure. The retired workers' cause of action is for battery.

In Business law, battery can be defined as the act of intentionally causing physical harm to an individual or group of people through physical contacts.

Hence, in this case the employers knowingly or intentionally exposed the retired workers to asbestos without warning them of the health risks associated.

Simply stated, a battery in criminal law is completed assault.

Joe wants to start an SEP-IRA that will have $460,000 in it when he retires in 15 years. How much should he invest semiannually in his IRA to do this if the interest is 15% compounded semiannually?

Answers

Answer:

$4,448.77

Explanation:

time until retirement = 15 years x 2 semiannual contributions = 30 payments

interest rate =15% / 2 = 7.5%

future value = $460,000

we can use the future value of an annuity formula:

future value = payment x annuity factor

FV annuity factor 7.5%, 30 periods = 103.3994

payment = future value / annuity factor

payment = $460,000 / 103.3994 = $4,448.77

The amount that should be invested is $4,448.77.

Calculation of the amount:

Since

time until retirement = 15 years x 2

= 30 payments

And,

interest rate =15% / 2 = 7.5%

Also,

future value = $460,000

Now we can use the future value of an annuity formula:

Here,

future value = payment x annuity factor

where,

FV annuity factor 7.5%, 30 periods = 103.3994

So,

payment = future value / annuity factor

= $460,000 / 103.3994

= $4,448.77

hence, The amount that should be invested is $4,448.77.

1. Do you think that punishments deter crime? Why or why not? Do you think there is a better way to reduce crime than punishment?

Answers

Explanation:

In my honest opinion i don not think punishment deter crime, but it does to a great extent reduce the rate of crime, if actually punishment deter crime, then there will not be offenders anymore.

Another possible way to reduce crime than punishment is to place a fine for offender to pay and also place offenders on community service, in this way offenders get to move freely in the society while they get to pay a huge sum for the offence they have committed

Answer:

I really believe that punishments reduce crime, if someone has done something wrong they have to be punished because, if not, how are they going to know that what they have done is wrong? So, in this way, some criminals stop committing crimes because they see that what they have done is not good and has consequences.

Punishment is known to be a bad stimulus to reduce crime; instead, education has been much more effective, because in this way criminals learn what they can do to improve their lives.

The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (capacity X) was $181,000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28,000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor is 0.8, what is your estimate of the purchase price for the new boiler

Answers

Answer:

$308,500.85

Explanation:

$181,000 eight years ago in real dollars was $181,000 / 162 = $111,728.40

new boiler with a 1.42X capacity x capacity factor = 1.42 x 0.8 = 1.136 (the price of the new boiler is 1.136 times the old boiler)

current price of the new boiler in real dollars = 1.136 x $111,728.40 = $126,923.46

real dollars converted to current nominal dollars = $126,923.46 x 2.21 = $280,500.85

price of the new boiler + additional optional features = $280,500.85 + $28,000 = $308,500.85

g The aggregate supply curve shifts A. rightward if the money wage rate falls. B. leftward if the aggregate demand curve shifts leftward. C. rightward if potential GDP decreases. D. leftward if potential GDP increases. E. rightward if the money wage rate rises.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option to the question above is option A "rightward if the money wage rate falls."

Explanation:

The aggregate supply curve is a graphical illustration of how the total quantity of goods and services is available for a given price and time.

When the aggregate supply curve shifts to the right, it increases. While, when the aggregate supply curve shifts to the left, it decreases.

An increase in the aggregate supply curve shows a fall in price, which makes a high price level resulting in a greater supply of real GDP.

Money wages is the amount of money paid in wages. Money wages is indirectly proportional to real wages. The aggregate supply curve decreases if the money wage rate increases and the aggregate supply curve increases when the money wage rate falls.

Aggregate supply is affected by GDP. When A GDP decreases, it also decreases aggregate supply.

Answers

Answer:

4.98%

Explanation:

Calculation for the current yield

First step

Since the the bond was purchased at 95 +15/32nds this means that we have to find the bond percentage.

Calculated as

Bond Percentage = 95 + 15/32nds

Bond percentage =95.46875%

Second step is to multiply the bond percentage by $1,000

95.46875% *$1,000

= $954.6875

The last step is to find the current yield

Current yield=$47.50 /$954.6875

Current yield = 4.98%

Therefore the current yield will be 4.98%

Andy views beer and pizza as complements to one another. If the price of pizza decreases, economists would expect Andy's demand for ____________.

Answers

Answer:

Andy's demand for beer will increase.

Explanation:

Andy’s demand for beer will increase because it is given that pizza and beer are complements. Therefore, there is an inverse relationship between the price of one complement goods and the number of other complement goods. Here, we can see that price of one good ( say pizza) decreases so the demand for other goods (say beer) will increase because there is an inverse relationship between these commodities.

Bogart Company is considering two alternatives. Alternative A will have revenues of $147,400 and costs of $103,400. Alternative B will have revenues of $188,200 and costs of $121,600. Compare Alternative A to Alternative B showing incremental revenues, costs, and net income.

Answers

Answer:

B is better than A

Explanation:

Here, we want to compare “A” to “B”. It means if B’s amount is higher than A’s amount, it should be positive; If B’s amount is lower than A’s amount, it should be negative.

Net income for each alternative = Revenues – Costs

Since the net income is positive, B is better than A.

For Boxland, the equation of the domestic supply curve for cardboard is Q S = -60 + 3P , where Q S represents the domestic quantity of cardboard supplied, in tons, and P again represents the price of a ton of cardboard. Refer to Scenario 9-1. Suppose the world price of cardboard is $45. Then, relative to the no-trade situation, international trade in cardboard a. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $672 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50. b. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $721 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50. c. harms Boxlandian consumers by $336 and harms Boxlandian producers by $525.00. d. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $721 and harms Boxlandian producers by $525.00.

Answers

Answer:  a. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $672 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50.

Explanation:

Equilibrium price will be at level where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.

200 − 2P = -60 + 3P

200+60 = 5P

5P = 260

P = $52

Equilibrium Quantity Demanded = 200 − 2P = 200 - 2 * 52 = 96 units

In a no-trade situation the demand in Boxland is 96 units at a price of $52. If they were to buy at the world price of $45, they would benefit;

= (96 * 52) - (96 * 45)

= 4,992‬ - 4,320‬

= $672

Producers however would produce the following at a price of $45;

Q S = -60 + 3P

= -60 + 3(45)

= 75 units

They would be supplying less units and be hurt.

Answers

Answer:

The amount of overhead applied to Job T687 is closest to: $280.

Explanation:

Predetermined rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budget Activity

                                 = $ 425,600 /  30,400

                                 = $14.00 per machine-hour

Applied overheads to job T687 = Predetermined rate × Actual machine hours used

                                                     =  $14.00 × 20

                                                     =  $280

Conclusion :

The amount of overhead applied to Job T687 is closest to: $280.

The Destin Company has one temporary difference of $160 caused by accelerated tax depreciation on 12/31/14. The difference will reverse evenly over the next four years. Tax Rates are 20% in 2014, 30% in 2015, and 40% in 2016 and beyond. Pretax book income in 2014 is $1,000. What is 2014 Income Tax Expense?

Answers

Answer: = $168

Explanation:

Destin Company had a $1,000 income in 2014 but also a temporary difference of $160.

This means that they were taxed on the income less the temporary difference.

= 1,000 - 160

= $840

Tax Expense = 840 * 20%

= $168

Answers

Please find diagram for question attached

Question options:

a.

overvalued; surplus of dollars

b.

undervalued; shortage of pesos

c.

overvalued; shortage of dollars

d.

undervalued; surplus of pesos

Answer:

Overvalued and there is a shortage of dollars

Explanation:

An increase in dollar price to buy peso means that dollar here is overvalued as it is above the equilibrium price(E2),and therefore it would be expensive to buy goods that are sold for a certain amount of dollars or in dollar currency with the Mexican pesos. This is because the fixed exchange rate system tries to ensure smooth and inexpensive trade between countries as it has to do with currency trading barriers by pegging a currency to another(in this case dollars) but here the dollar price increase for peso makes it more expensive to buy dollar products with pesos. Also this is caused here by the shortage of dollars.

On January 1, 2014, Pert Company purchased 85% of the outstanding common stock of Sales Company for $350,000. On that date. Sales Company's stockholders' equity consisted of common stock, $100,000; other contributed capital, $40,000; and retained earnings, $140,000. Pert Company paid more than the book value of net assets acquired because the recorded cost of Sales Company's land was significantly less than its fair value.
During 2014 Sales Company earned $148,000 and declared and paid a $50,000 dividend. Pert Company used the partial equity method to record its investment in Sales Company.

Consider a fast food café of your choice. Apply 4 V’s of Operation. Describe each V as ‘High’, ‘Low’ or ‘Moderate’ with one liner reason.

Answers

Answer:

4 V's of Operation

The 4 V's of operation are Volume, Variety, Variation, and Visibility.  Let us take Mrs. Happy Food Cafe with over 100 outlets in Fiacton Town, as an example to illustrate the 4 V's of operation.

Volume: As a food cafe, the volume of production that will be required for some foods and drinks is so high that their provision requires repetitive tasks.  Based on this, procedures are normally standardized in order to achieve low cost for foods and drinks.  However, it is harder to standardize services, since personal touches are added by the servers based on their individual perceptions and abilities.

Variety: Mrs. Happy Food Cafe tries to bring some variety in her offerings to satisfy the various needs of her customers.  While variety is naturally low in the Food Cafe sector, some cafes like Mrs. Happy Good Cafe, try to satisfy customers' demands by varying the foods with Continental, African, Latino cuisines and dishes.

Variation: At Mrs Happy Food cafes, the food and drinks do not vary much as customers expect to be served the same quality of services at any of their cafes.  This is because the processes are standardized to achieve low cost.  So, the variation is moderate.

Visibility: Customers of Mrs Happy Food cafes are not able to see and track their experiences of the the processes for the food preparation that they order.   But, they can track the processes for the services because services are consumed as they are offered.  So, visibility is 'Moderate," as it is divided between the hard goods and the soft goods.  With respect to goods visibility is 'Low.'  However, with respect to the services the customers' visibility of processes is high.

Explanation:

The 4 V's of operation describe the different characteristics of the processes that various entities use to transform their inputs into outputs of goods and services.  They may be high, low, or moderate.  They include, volume, variety, variation, and visibility.

The Park Avenue Corporation currently makes a part required in its finished product. The company uses 2,116 units of this part annually. Park Avenue Corp has been approached by a vendor to provide this part for $13.04 each. The following cost information is provided
Direct Materials per unit $6.34
Direct Labor per unit $7.30
Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50
Fixed Factory Overhead per unit $7.50
How much would Park Avenue Corporation save by having the vendor make the part, instead of making it themselves?

Answers

Answer:

If the company buys the part, it will save $$6,559.6

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $13.04

The company uses 2,116 units of this part annually.

Production:

Direct Materials per unit $6.34

Direct Labor per unit $7.30

Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50

We weren't provided with information regarding the fixed costs. I will assume that non of the fixed overhead costs are avoidable, therefore, they are irrelevant to the decision making process.

Buy:

Total cost= 2,116*13.04= $27,592.64

Production:

Total cost= 2,116*(6.34 + 7.3 + 2.5)= $34,152.24

If the company buys the part, it will save $$6,559.6

In the case when the company buys the part, it will save $6,559.6.

Calculation of the value of part:

Since

Purchase price= $13.04

Direct Materials per unit $6.34

Direct Labor per unit $7.30

Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50

Now

For Buy:

Total cost= 2,116*13.04= $27,592.64

For Production:

Total cost= 2,116*(6.34 + 7.3 + 2.5)= $34,152.24

So, we can say that In the case when the company buys the part, it will save $6,559.6.

At July 31, Farmer Company has this bank information: cash balance per bank $8,344; outstanding checks $804; deposits in transit $1,383; and a bank service charge $58.
Determine the adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31.
The adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31:___________.

Answers

Answer:

The adjusted balance per bank is $8923

Explanation:

Adjusted cash balance per bank

Cash balance per bank (unadjusted)          8344

(+)  Deposits in transit                                   1383

(-) Outstanding checks                                 (804)

Cash balance per bank (adjusted)              8923

The adjusted cash balance per bank is calculated by adjusting the transactions that do not appear on the current bank statement.

The deposits in transit is the amount of cash deposited in the bank, that will increase the bank balance, which is still in process and has not been added to the bank account as of now. Thus, we will add this amount to calculate the adjusted bank balance.

The outstanding checks amount is the amount of checks that have been issued by the business but which are yet to be presented by the recipients of checks and will result in a reduction in the bank balance. Thus, we deduct them to calculate the adjusted balance.

The bank charge is deducted by the bank itself thus we assume that it has already been deducted. So, no adjustment is made for this.
