Answer:

Option D Showing the absence of privity of contract between it and the consumer.

Explanation:

The reason is that privity of contract says that the party of the contract are only allowable to sue each other which in other words can enforce the other to fulfill his requirements that were agreed while forming contract. So the right answer is option D because it is not related to the negligence claim.

The duty of care that the company owes towards its product's users includes using appropriate production process so that the customer will not be injured, placing the caution and warning labels so that the person can save him from the injury and the company has used components that will not harm the user of the product.

So all the options are correct except option D.

The Talley Corporation had taxable operating income of $495,000 (i.e., earnings from operating revenues minus all operating cost
Ivahew [28]

Answer: $465,000

Explanation:

To calculate the Taxable income we would have to adjust the figure for dividends received as well as interest.

Now, 50% of dividends received are taxable so let's adjust for that first,

= 20,000 * 0.5

= $10,000

$10,000 of dividends are taxable.

To calculate the Taxable income we have to use the following formula,

Taxable income = Income after operating Costs - Interest Charges + Taxable dividends

= 495,000 - 40,000 + 10,000

= $465,000

That Taxable income is therefore $465,000

Note: The dividends paid are not included here because they are taxable and already included in the Taxable operating income so including it again would amount to Double Counting.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

b. $17600

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of depreciation expense for the year 2022 is shown below:

But before that first we have to find out the per hour rate which is

Units-of-production method:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated production)  

= ($216,000 - $40,000) ÷ (55,000 hours)

= ($176,000) ÷ (55,000 hours)  

= $3.2 per hour

Now for the 2022 year, it would be  

= Machine runs in 2022 year × depreciation per hour

= 5,500 hours × $3.2

= $17,600
