Answer:
If the court denies the motion, the most likely reason is that vicarious liability cannot be established against the taxi owner because the driver is an independent contractor.
Explanation:
While an employer is vicariously liable for the negligent acts of its employees when carried out "in the course of employment," the taxi driver is an independent contractor, and his acts cannot be made good by the taxi owner. Secondly, since a verdict had already been entered in his favor against the taxi driver, the passenger's claim for damages will be adequately met by the first judgment.
Answer:
$6,750,000
Explanation:
Since it is stated in the question that the 3mn shares will be paid the principal and interest at maturity, and it is not stated the note is compounded, we apply the following simple calculation:
Amount to pay = $4,500,000 + [($4,500,000 × 10%) × 5 years]
= $4,500,000 + [$450,000 × 5 years]
= $4,500,000 + 2,250,000
Amount to pay = $6,750,000
Therefore, the amount should be paid to the stockholders at the end of the fifth year is $6,750,000.
Answer:
$250
This because out of the total surplus, the surplus left after being received by the consumer goes to the producer.
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Price of tomato = $10
Equilibrium quantity = 50 tomatoes
Consumer surplus = $400
Total surplus = $650
Now,
The producer surplus = Total surplus - Consumer surplus
= $650 - $400
= $250
This because out of the total surplus, the surplus left after being received by the consumer goes to the producer.
Answer:
1.272 per share
Explanation:
The computation of earnings per share is shown below:-
Weighted Average number of Common shares outstanding = outstanding common shares ÷ Net income
= 900,000 ÷ $707,810
= 1.272 per share
Where,
Net Income = Preferred Dividends ÷ Weighted Average number of Common shares outstanding
= $655,000 ÷ (1 + 0.05) + ( 60,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months) × 1.05 + (72,000 × 7 months ÷ 12 months)
= $623,810 + 40,000 × 1.05 + 42,000
= $623,810 + 42,000 + 42,000
= 707,810
