The state of Indiana hires the Reliable Construction Company to do some excavating work on an interstate highway. The state lays

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

C) The state is liable because of Reliable's negligent failure to take the special precautions required for conducting a highly dangerous or inherently dangerous activity.

Explanation:

Even though the state of Indiana hired Reliable Construction Company for doing the job and the contract was very specific about Reliable's obligations, the state government should have controlled that Reliable actually carried out its obligations properly.

In this case, it was reasonable foreseeable that the failure to control Reliable's job could result in personal or property injury. So the state should have exercised control over how the work was done. The respondeat superior doctrine does not apply because Reliable was an independent company hired by the state government to perform a specific contract, it was not an agent (or employee).

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The loss on equipment recognized by Devin on its internal accounting records for 2017 is $9,000

Explanation:

By using the given information which is mentioned in the question, first we have to calculate the book value of equipment.

So, the book value of the equipment is equals to

= Cost price - accumulated depreciation

= $120,000 - $66,000

= $54,000

Now we can calculate the loss or gain on sale of equipment which is equals to

= Sale price - book value

= $45,000 - $54,000

= - $9,000

Since, the amount shows negative which means the company has suffered a loss of $9,000 on equipment

The other things like net income of 2017 and 2018 is irrelevant because it tells the net income of overall company not for equipment. So, it is not being considered while computation

Hence, the loss on equipment recognized by Devin on its internal accounting records for 2017 is $9,000

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The present worth of this investment = -$31,204.78

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth of this investment (in bold red color).

In the attached excel file, the following are used:

Loan from bank = Purchase price * (1 / 4) = $130,000 * (1 / 4) = $32,500

Initial cost = Purchase price - Loan from bank = $130,000 - $32,500 = $97,500

The annual required equal loan payments is calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:

P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1 + r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)

Where,

P = Annual required equal loan payment = ?

A = Loan amount from bank = $32,500

r = interest rate = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of payment years = 3

Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:

P = Annual required equal loan payment = ($32,500 * (0.12 * (1 + 0.12)^3)) / (((1 + 0.12)^3) - 1) = $13,531.34

From the attached excl file, the present worth of this investment is equal to -$31,204.78
