Answer: d) whether LIRR is liable under negligence to Mrs. Palsgraf.

Explanation:

Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co. was a very famous case in American tort law from 1928 which deals with the issue of being liable to an unforeseen Plaintiff.

In the case, Helen Palsgraf and her daughter were at the Long Island Railroad Co. (LIRR) station platform waiting to board a train to go to the beach when two men were being assisted to enter the train by Employees of LIRR. Whilst this was happening one of the men dropped a product that detonated. This hit her and she began to stammer. She sued the railroad and won in two courts until she got to the New York Court of Appeals where she lost the case as the Judge did not believe the Issue was right.

The Issue was whether LIRR owed her a duty of care even if they could not have known that she could be harmed from helping the men.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

a. What is Mary’s federal tax liability?

$20,243.75

b. What is her marginal tax rate?

25%

c. What is her average tax rate?

average tax rate for ordinary income = $18,293.75 / $90,000 = 20.33%

average tax rate on all of Mary's taxable income (including long term capital gains) = $20,243.75 / $103,000 = 19.65%

Explanation:

Since the personal exemption is $4,000, I assume that this question takes place during 2015.

total ordinary income = $82,000 (salary) + $12,000 (dividend income) + $5,000 (interest income) + $2,500 (short term capital gains) = $101,500

long term capital gains = $13,000

taxable ordinary income = $101,500 - $4,000 - $7,500 = $90,000

tax liability on ordinary income = $5,156.25 + [($90,000 - $37,450) x 25%] = $18,293.75

tax liability on long term capital gains = $13,000 x 15% = $1,950

total tax liability = $20,243.75

You have been asked to analyze the bids for 200 polished disks used in solar panels. These bids have been submitted by three su

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Per unit bid by Thailand Polishing in dollars = $1.2

The price per unit for India Shine in dollars = $1.5

The price per unit for Sacramento Glow = $1.2

Explanation:

Number of units of polished disks = 200

Bid by Thailand Polishing = 2,400 baht

Bid by India Shine = 2,400 rupees

Bid by Sacramento Glow = $240

Now,

Per unit bid by Thailand Polishing = $\frac{2400}{200}$ = 12 baht

Since, $1 = 10 baht

1 baht = $0.1

Therefore,

Per unit bid by Thailand Polishing in dollars = 12 × 0.1 = $1.2

The price per unit for India Shine = $\frac{2400}{200}$ = 12 rupees

also,

$1 = 8 rupee

1 rupee = $0.125

Therefore,

The price per unit for India Shine in dollars = 12 × 0.125 = $1.5

The price per unit for Sacramento Glow = $\frac{240}{200}$ = $1.2
