COMPLETE PROBLEM
Lana, a ten-year-old child, is run over by a car negligently driven by Mitchell. Lana, at the time of the accident, was acting reasonably and without negligence. Clark, a newspaper reporter, photographs Lana while she is lying in the street in great pain. Two years later, Perry, the publisher of a newspaper, prints Clark's picture of Lana in his newspaper as a lead to an article concerning the negligence of children. The caption under the picture reads: "They ask to be killed." Lana, who has recovered from the accident, brings suit against Clark and Perry. What result? Explain.
Explanation:
Judgement for Lana against Perry but not against Clark. The facts make out a case against Perry for the tort of invasion of privacy in particular placing another in a false light (INVASION OF PRIVACY:FALSE LIGHT). Section 652E of the restatement imposes liability for publicity which places another in a false light. It is unlikely that Perry could utilize the first amendment as a defense because Lana was neither a public official nor a public figure. Even if that defense were available, it is forfeited if Perry acted with "malice", which appears to be the case here because Perry acted in reckless disregard of the truth. Clark did not commit the tort of intrusion because he photographed an event that occurred in public.
The answer is "environmental groups".
An environmental organization refers to an association which is leaving the preservation or ecological developments that looks to ensure, break down or screen the earth against abuse or debasement from human powers. In this sense the environment may allude to the biophysical condition, the common habitat or the constructed condition. The association might be a charity, a trust, a non-legislative association or an administration association. Environmental associations can be worldwide, national, provincial or nearby.
Answer:
$6,666.67 and $10,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2017 and 2018 is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($88,000 - $8,000) ÷ (8 years)
= ($80,000) ÷ (8 years)
= $10,000
Since the machinery is purchased on April 30 and we assume the books are closed on December 31 so the number of months calculated is 8 months
Therefore for the year 2017 the depreciation expense is
= $10,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months
= $6,666.67
And, for the year 2018 the depreciation expense is same i.e $10,000
<span>The journal entry to record the initial write-off includes is allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra account to accounts receivable, and therefore has debit balance. It also needs to be diminished because you already used the bad debt when you make the allowance.</span>
Answer:
Clem should specialise in wheat production because he has higher profits there
Explanation:
Clem needs to make a decision on the product that will maximise his profits and not just the number of units of products he can manufacture.
If he produces only wheat he will have profit of 75 bushels * $2 = $150
If he produces only barley his profit will be 125 bushels * $0.80 = $100
This shows that wheat is more profitable for Clem. Even though he can produce more units of barley.
