A man purchased a new power boat with an inboard engine from a boating supply store. The boating supply store properly inspected

the boat before delivery, but did not detect a virtually invisible manufacturing defect in the boat's steering mechanism. Later that summer, the man was entertaining some friends on his boat on a lake near a dam. There were some warning pylons near the dam, warning boaters to stay clear. The man decided to show off for his friends by weaving his boat in and out of the warning pylons. As he rounded the last of them, the steering mechanism of his boat jammed, and the boat crashed into the dam. The man was severely injured. The man brings an action for damages against the boating supply store on a theory of strict liability in tort in a jurisdiction that does not apply its comparative fault rules to strict liability actions. Who will prevail

In this scenario with the boat the person that would prevail is the man that bought the boat.

<h3>The reason why the man would prevail</h3>

This is due to the fact that the people that sold him the boat should have made sure that they were not selling a defective item.

The accident was not the fault of the man. The defect should have been well detected and dealt with before the sale of the boat.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$168,200

Explanation:

Given that,

Purchase price = $ 150,000

Sales tax = 7,900

Delivery charge from​ sellers location = 1,200

Special racks for storage = ​3,000

Normal repairs to the truck before it was used for the first time = ​1,100

Signs painted on the truck ​= 2,000

Insurance on truck before it was used for the first time = ​3,000

All the above expenses are included in determining the cost of the delivery truck. Normal repairs to the truck and insurance on truck are also included in the cost of truck because it was incurred before the truck used for the first time.

Cost of the delivery​ truck:

= Purchase price + Sales tax + Delivery charge from​ sellers location + Special racks for storage + Normal repairs to the truck before it was used for the first time + Signs painted on the truck + Insurance on truck before it was used for the first time

= $150,000 + $7,900 + $1,200 + $3,000 + $1,100 + $2,000 + $3,000

= $168,200
