Answer:

Option A. Adrian and Fran will have limited liability, meaning they might lose their investments in Best Techs but will not lose their personal assets.

Explanation:

The reason is that the organization which is a limited company is responsible for the employee's negligence and as a result the compensation for the negligence would be paid by the company then the Adrian and Fran's investment in that company is affected by the compensation that the company would pay, not their personal assets. The shareholders are not liable for the negligence of the employee but the company is. Hence the maximum loss to the shareholders  Adrian and Fran would be the investment in the company and assets other than this investment will have no impact of this compensation.

So the option A is the correct option.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

$2917.50

Explanation:

The computation of the dollar return is shown below:

= (Stock price at the end of the year - Stock price at the beginning of the year + Dividend paid) × number of shares purchased

= ($113.65 - $104.32 +$2.34) × 250 shares

= $11.67 × 250 shares

= $2917.50

We simply added the stock price at the end of the year, dividend paid and deducted the stock price at the beginning of the year, then multiply it with the number of shares purchased so that the correct amount can come.

Thomas purchased 200 shares of stock A for ​$23 a share and sold them more than a year later for $ 19 per share. Be purchased 60
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Capital gain tax = $1,540.

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

For stocks of A  

Profit = (selling price - purchasing price) × units

= ($19 - $23) × 200

= -$800

For stocks of B  

Profit = ($57-$41) × 600

= $9,600

Total profit = profit for stock A + profit for stock B  

= -$800 + $9,600

= $8,800

Therefore, capital gain for both year = $8,800

Tax rate = 35%

Capital gain tax = Capital gain × Tax rate

= $8,800 × 35%

=$3,080

As share holds for more than a year,

So, Capital gain tax = $3,080 ÷ 2 = $1,540.

What type of stores rely on their large size and very deep selection to try to dominate the market?
andrew-mc [135]
Power retailers are the stores that rely on their large size and very deep selection to try to dominate the market. 
Specialty stores are small, so you can eliminate that option immediately. Department stores are usually found within another store, so that's not correct too. Discounters don't have a very deep selection, they usually sell a lot of various things. Anchor stores are found within malls, so that's incorrect too.
