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.
Answer:
$33467.03
Explanation:
Given: we are given that $33000 is the cost of the car that’s on sale if the person wants a cash option.
Leasing option of $495 per month for the next two years with an immediate payment of $95 as a balloon payment for the vehicle.
The person will sell the vehicle for $21000 after 2 years from now.
We need to calculate the breakeven price to sell the vehicle after two years if the person sold the car on either option.
Therefore we will use the future value annuity formula to calculate how much would yield on the lease payments of $495 after two years first.
![Fv = P [((1+r) ^n)-1)/r]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Fv%20%3D%20P%20%5B%28%281%2Br%29%20%5En%29-1%29%2Fr%5D)
Where Fv is the future value that will yield from the payments.
P is the periodic payment which is $495 per month.
r is the interest per period so in this case it is 5%/12 as the 5% is on an annual basis and the individual will make monthly payments.
n is the number of payments made and in this case it is 24 payments because $495 is paid monthly for 2 years.
Now we insert the values on the formula above
Fv = $495 [((1+ (5%/12) ^24)-1)/ (5%/12)] then compute on a calculator and get the answer
Fv = $12467.03 + $95 we add $95 to the solution because the customer must pay it as a deposit if they choose the lease option.
The value the customer must sell the car for to break even for both options in two years’ time is the sum of $21000 which the customer sells the car for in two years’ time plus the above future value for the lease repayments, so $21000+ $12467.03 =$33467.03 .
Answer:
The correct answer is: Synergy.
Explanation:
The term synergy means cooperation and its most frequent use was, until now, in the field of medicine, where the synergistic effect of two organs is discussed as the improvement that is produced by the fact that these organs work together.
Applied to the business world, synergy is the production of additional effects that results from the joint work of two or more organizations, taking into account that those effects would not occur if those organizations acted separately.
Synergy in operational activities are those that apply to a function or resource in which the consequences of that collaboration are manifested. It can be synergies in marketing, such as those created when using sales channels, after-sales services or even common logistics; synergies in supplies, which generate benefits in purchase prices or payment conditions for volume purchases or transformation synergies or other operational activities, share production or management schedules or controls, etc.
Answer:
e) $37.05
Explanation:
Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.
So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula
P = D (1+g)/r-g
r- rate of return, g = growth rate
Present value of the future dividends:
PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)
= 1.4047
PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)
= 1.27
PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)
Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend
= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)
=43.114
Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend
=43.114 × (1.12^(-2))
= 34.37
Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37
= $37.05
Note
To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0
