Answer:

B) duress.

Explanation:

"Duress" refers to the exercise of unlawful pressure by one individual upon another in order to coerce such person to act in such a way which he ordinarily will not.

Duress and undue influence are two terms that appear synonymous but actually differ. Under the latter, the act of coercion is carried out by an individual who held something in trust for other. Under duress, there exists a threat to harm, which is not necessarily true in case of undue influence.

In the given case, after Marty's house was burnt, the insurance adjuster instead of approving her claim, rather accused him of burning the house and further threatened him with criminal prosecution, if the former did not agree to much lower claim.  

In this case, Marty may rescind such previously agreed settlement on the grounds of  duress wherein, the insurance adjuster coerced and threatened him for such settlement and forcibly changed his action with the motive of deriving personal gains.

QS 8-7 Computing revised depreciation LO C2 On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,200 for sound equipment. The band estimates
seraphim [82]

Answer:

$25,280 per year

Explanation:

The computation of the revised depreciation for both the second and third years is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

Depreciation for year 1 = [Cost – Salvage Value] ÷Useful Life

= [$65,200 - 2,000] ÷ 5 Years

= $12,640

Now Book Value at point of revision is

= Cost - First year depreciation

= $65,200 - $12,640

= $52,560

Now

Remaining Depreciable Cost = Book Value at the point of revision - Salvage Value

= $52,560 – 2,000

= $50,560

And, finally Depreciation per year for Year 2 and 3 is

= Depreciable cost / Remaining useful life

= $50,560 ÷  2 Year

= $25,280 per year
