Answer:

The answer is: 5 hours 20 minutes; 4 Trucks

Explanation:

Each truck has a 16 minute window to pick up and dump the coal. This process can be observed as an assembly line where each stage of production is the stages of coal transport. When Truck A is travelling to the dump site, Truck B can be loading the coal. When Truck B is travelling to the dump site and Truck A is dumping the coal, Truck C would be loading the coal. When Truck A is travelling to the loading area, Truck B dumping the coal and Truck C travelling to the dump site, Truck D would be loading the coal. Once Truck A gets to the loading area, Truck D would be on its way to the dump site and so on. In each 16 minute window 88 tons of coal (22 tons * 4) is picked up and dumped, that is, 22 tons every 4 minutes. Given that there are 1, 760 tons of coal, the total time taken to dump all the coal is equal to 320 minutes:

88 tons = 16 minutes (22 tons dumped every 4 minutes)

1, 760 tons = (1760 tons * 16)/88 tons = 320 minutes

320 minutes/ 60 minutes = 5 hours 20 minutes

Enforceable via employee agent

Explanation:

The definition of agency law deals with agent-principal relationships; that is a relationship where one party has the legal authority to act in place of another. Relationships that are commonly associated with agency law include employer-employee, administrator-decedent or executor, and guardian-ward.

Agreements that result in the formation of agency-type relationships can be implied or express, and both the principal and the agent can be an entity (such as partnership or corporation) or individual.

Here in the given situation, since, Elaine is an employee of the business and knowledgeable enough to deal with the contract filing, it is implied that she is acting as an employee agent, that she can help the customer in filing the contract.

Manning Company issued 10,000 shares of its $5 par value common stock having a fair value of $25 per share and 15,000 shares of
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$240,909

Explanation:

Given:

Number of common stocks issued = 10,000

Value of common stock = $5

Fair value per share = $25

Number of shares of $15 par value = 15,000

preferred stock having a fair value of $20 per share = $530,000

Total market value of the stocks = 10,000 × $25 + 15,000 × 20 =  $550,000

Now,

The proceeds that would be allocated to the common stock will be

= \frac{\textup{Total fair value of common stocks}}{\textup{Total maket value of the stocks}}\times\textup{Preffered value of total stocks}

= \frac{10,000\times25}{550,000}\times530,000

= $240,909
