Tommy McCartney is a sixteen-year-old high school student. He has worked forty hours per week at the local convenience store ove

r the last year, and has diligently saved $6,000 for the purchase of his first car.While visiting a local car dealership, Tommy finds the "car of his dreams," a used yellow Camaro. Tommy walks into the dealership, announces to the dealership owner that he is "ready to buy," negotiates $6,000 as the purchase price, and leaves the dealership a proud car owner.Over the course of the next six months, Tommy drives the Camaro eight thousand miles, wears the tires thin, dents the left front fender, and regrets his purchase. He realizes that in two short years college will beckon, and he knows that his parents cannot afford to pay for his higher education. In short, he wants his money back.On a Saturday morning, Tommy returns to the car dealership, walks into the sales office, and hands the keys to the seller, asking for the return of his $6,000. The dealer chuckles, and then his look turns stern, saying "Son, I don’t owe you anything. You’ve just learned a lesson in the ‘School of Hard Knocks.’ The car is still yours, and the money is still mine!"Who will prevail? Is it legal and/or ethical to allow Tommy to escape his contractual obligations?

Answer: Yes,it is legal and or ethical to allow Tommy to escape his contractual obligations.

Explanation:

A contract is an agreement made between two or more persons which the court of law can enforced. Under the law of contract, one of the essential elements of a valid contract is capacity, which states that a person must be of legal age before such a person can enter into a contract. For example a legal age is 18 years. In a law of contract any contract enter into with a minor is null and void according to the law. The exception to this rule is when a minor enter into a contract for the supply of necessity such as food and clothing. It is evidence that Tommy McCartney is 16 years old as at the time of entering into the contract for the purchase of the car from the store. In this case, by virtue of being a minor he does not have the backing of the law to enter into the contract for the purchase of the car from the store as at the time he does so.

Therefore, based on this legal point ,the contract is voidable.Tommy money must be returned to him because the contract between him and the store is null and void.It is therefore legal to allow Tommy to escape his contractual obligations

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: 4,840

Explanation: Analysis reveals that a company had a net increase in cash of $22,310 for the current year.

Therefore,

The year-end cash balance -  the beginning cash balance = $22,310

The beginning cash balance = The year-end cash balance - $22,310

The year-end cash balance is $27,150

The beginning cash balance =  $27,150 - $22,310 = $4,840

An investment has an expected return of 11 percent per year with a standard deviation of 26 percent. Assuming that the returns o
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution table or excel and we got:

P(Z

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the expected return, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(11,26)  

Where \mu=11 and \sigma=26

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution table or excel and we got:

P(Z
