Answer: He is more likely to lose the case.

Explanation:

Philip is likely to lose because eventhoug the mechanic's action or conduct was an act of negligence toward Marsha, it was not a proximate causation in relation to Phillip, who was far away.

Proximate causation means it was not the primary cause of his injury , the mechanic could have not predicted or foreseen that Philip was going to be injured buy a running dog and that frees him from a duty to Philip.

Maintenance, which was about 18 of the total budget less than it spent on administrative personnel. The amount spent on administ
____ [38]

Answer:

the remaining budget for other expenses = 1/8 of the total budget

Explanation:

Since the city's administrative personnel expenses are 1/8 larger than both maintenance expenses and safety expenses, it means that safety expenses are equal to maintenance expenses.

Since maintenance expenses are 1/4 of the total budget, safety expenses are also 1/4 of the total budget.

Administrative personnel expenses are 1/8 higher, so that means that they equal 1/4 + 1/8 of the total expenses.

If we add the three categories = 1/4 + 1/4 + (1/4 + 1/8) = 7/8

So the remaining budget for other expenses = 1 - 7/8 = 1/8 of the total budget

You just won $30,000 and deposited your winnings into an account that pays 3.9 percent interest, compounded annually. how long w
ruslelena [56]
For this case we have an equation of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ x

 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate
 x: number of years
 Substituting values we have:
 y = 30000 * (1,039) ^ x

 By the time the earnings increase to 75000 we have:
 75000 = 30000 * (1,039) ^ x

 From here, we clear x:
 (1,039) ^ x = (75000/30000)

log1.039 ((1.039) ^ x) = log1.039 ((75000/30000))


 x = log1.039 ((75000/30000))

x = 23.95 years
 Answer:
 
you will have to wait until 23.95 years your winnings are worth $ 75,000

A corporate bond has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 9.5%. The bond matures in 12 years and has a current market pri
joja [24]

Answer:

5.71%

Explanation:

The after tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)

where t is the tax rate of 35% or 0.35

pretax cost of debt=yield to maturity

The yield to maturity can be determined using rate formula in excel as below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupon interest payable by the bonds i.e 12 coupons in 12 years

pmt is the annual coupon=$1000*9.5%=$95

pv is the current market price-flotation cost=$1,100-$48=$1052

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(12,95,-1052,1000)=8.78%

After tax cost of debt=8.78% *(1-0.35)=5.71%
