c. liable on the ground that Mesa is an intended third-party beneficiary
Explanation:
In a contract, the third-party beneficiary is a business or a person that benefits from the agreement and the terms of the contract that is made between the two other parties. According to law, third-party beneficiary have certain rights which they can enforced if the contract is not fulfilled.
In the context, Mesa is a third party beneficiary. The Mesa County enters into a contract with New Construct Inc. to construct a court house. Now New Construct Inc. again hires the firm Odell to excavate the land site.
While excavating Odell damages few nearby properties, so Mesa County files a law suit against Odell. But Odell argues that Odell is not in agreement with Mesa County or have not entered into with any contract with the County, so Mesa cannot sue the excavator.
But the court hold that as Mesa County is the third party beneficiary of the contract and have certain rights, Odell is held liable for the loss and should compensate for the loss to the County.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Miles Driven Total Cost Miles Driven Total Cost
January: 8,000 $14,120
March: 8,550 $14,979
February: 7,490 $13,495
April: 8,195 $14,490
To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (14,979 - 13,495) / (8,550 - 7,490)
Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit

Answer:
$12,300
Explanation:
I will assume that Joseph invested in the fund on July 14, 2013.
We have to calculate the future value to March 15, 2014 (8 months later).
since the interest is compounded semi annually, it will earn interest on January 14, 2014.
Future value = $12,000 x (1 + 2.5%) = $12,300
since the fund is going to earn interests again on July 14, 2014, the value on march 14 is the same = $12,300
