<span>Absolute Dominion is the current law involving ground water in Maine, Indiana, and Texas which in effect states that the owner of the property has complete control over the groundwater underneath their property and may pump that water up without regard to causing shortages with neighbors. Basically, you can pump as much as you want without worry about legal repercussions. Contrast this to the "reasonable use" rule that's used in most of the rest of the United States. The reasonable use rule prohibits landowners from "wasting groundwater" or transporting the groundwater off their property for use elsewhere. Now, how does this affect Nestle? In Maine there was a company called "Poland Springs" which pumped out groundwater for drinking in the local community. This company was purchased in 1980 by Perrier which is based in France. And finally, in 1992, Nestle purchased Perrier. Under Absolute Dominion, Nestle has no limit on how much groundwater they can pump and export to other locations without regard to long term sustainability.</span>

6. On February 1, Ann sends Bob a letter offering to employ Bob at Ann’s auto dealership. On February 5, Bob mails Ann a letter
Radda [10]

Answer: A Contract was formed on February 5th

Explanation:

The contract was formed the very day that Bob mailed Ann his acceptance which was on the 5th of February.

Ann attempted to revoke the acceptance too late as she did it a day after he had emailed his acceptance even though she only received it on the 7th.

The date she received the acceptance is of no consequence because this falls under the Posting Rule. This rule in Common Law countries essentially states an agreement is made as soon as the letter is posted even if it never gets to it's destination.

Answer:

The present Value of the growing annuity= $1,158,092.68  

Explanation:

The present value of the growing annuity is going to be computed as follows:

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

A- annual cash flow- $87,460

g- growth rate - 6.3%

n- number of years =73

r- discount rate - 13.8%

I will break out the formula into two parts to make the workings very clear to follow. So applying this formula, we can work out the present value of the growing annuity  as follows.  

A/(r-g)  = 87,460/(0.138-0.063) =1,166,133.33

(1- (1+g/1+r)^n)  = 1- (1.063/1.138)^73 =0.9931

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

166,133.33× 0.9931 =  1,158,092.68  

The present Value of the growing annuity= $1,158,092.68
