Each culpable party is responsible for its proportionate share of the damages. Damages are always the responsibility of all negligent parties.

What is  joint and several liability?

  • Each party is individually liable for the entire extent of the damages caused by the tortious act when two or more people become jointly and severally responsible for that though.
  • As a result, if a plaintiff obtains a monetary judgment against all of the parties, they may each be held liable for the full amount of the verdict.
  • The other wrongdoers may then be asked to contribute to that party. The law of undivided injury is the name given to the idea of picking the defendant(s) against whom to seek damages.

The worrisome consequences are as previously mentioned, joint and several liability usually works in the plaintiff's favor because it raises the likelihood that every one of the damages granted will be recouped.

In contrast hand, it can be thought unjust for a party to suffer a disproportionate financial loss as a result of an unpleasant incident for which it had only a tiny responsibility.

Barton Industries expects next year's annual dividend, D1, to be $2.00 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings will be calculated thus:

= Expected dividend / [Current price × (1 - Floatation cost)] + Expected growth rate

= 2.00/[20.00 × (1 - 4.5%)] + 4.2%

= 2.00 /[20.00 × (1 - 0.045)] + 0.042

= 2.00 / (20.00 × 0.955) + 0.042

= (2.00/19.10) + 0.042

= 0.104712 + 0.042

= 0.146712

New cost of equity = 14.67%

You didn't give the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment. Let's assume that this is maybe 11%, the floatation on adjustment factor = 14.67% - 11% = 3.67%

Firms HD and LD are identical except for their level of debt and the interest rates they pay on debt—HD has more debt and pays a
Luden [163]

Answer:

2.41%

Explanation:

The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-

Particulars          Firm HD                             Firm LD

Assets $200      Debt ratio 50%            Debt ratio 30%

EBIT $40            Interest rate 12%          Interest rate 10%

Tax rate 35%

Debt                            $100                              $60

Interest                        $12                                  $6

                          ($100 × 12%)                       ($60 × 10%)      

Taxable income         $28                                 $36

                               ($40- $12)                          ($40 - $6)

Net income                $18.2                                $22.1

                       $28 × (1 - 0.35)                     $36 × (1 - 0.35)

Equity                          $100                                $140

                              ($200 - $100)                   ($200 - $60)

ROE                              18.2%                               15.79%

                           ($18.2 ÷ $100)                   ($22.1 ÷ $140)

Taxable income = EBIT - Interest

Net income = Income - Taxable income

Equity = Assets - Debt

ROE = Net income ÷ Equity

Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD

= 18.2% - 15.79%

= 2.41%

So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.

In an organization, project managers report directly to the head of a PMO. In this case, which statement is probably not true
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Projects will be run by the functional organization and project managers expedite change control.

Explanation:

A project management office or PMO is a department within an organisation that is tasked with maintaining the standard of project management. They also make sure there is economies of repitition in project execution (ensure success of projects is replicated).

In the given scenario if project managers report to the head of a PMO it means that the project management team is independent of the functional organisation.

So the statement - Projects will be run by the functional organization and project managers expedite change control.

Is false.
