Answer and Explanation:

In an action based on strict liability, a plaintiff must show that

(1) a product was defective,

(2) the defendant was in the business of distributing the product,

(3) the product was unreasonably dangerous due to the defect,

(4) the plaintiff suffered harm,

(5) the defect was the proximate cause of the harm, and

(6) the goods were not substantially changed from the time they were sold.

A plaintiff does not have to show that there was a failure to exercise due care, and this distinguishes an action based on strict liability from an action based on negligence, which requires proof of a lack of due care. If Bob establishes his case, the court in this problem is most likely to rule in his favor, because the manufacturer is strictly liable in this case. Strict liability allows a plaintiff to recover damages for injuries resulting from product defects without proof of fault.

Rexford Corporation produces three products, with costs and selling prices as follows: Product A Product B Product C Machine hou
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

$9,400

Explanation:

For computing the maximum contribution margin we need to do following calculations

Contribution Margin

Product A = ($12 ÷3) = 4

Product B = ($5 ÷ 1) = 5

Product C = ($9 ÷ 2) = 4.50

So, the ranking order would be product B > product C > product A

Now

Total machine hours available = 2,100 hours

And,

Time for making 500 units of B

= 500 × 1

= 500 hours

For making 500 units of C, the time taken is  

= 500 × 2

= 1000 hours

So the remaining hours left is

= 2,100 hours - 1,000 hours - 500 hours

= 600 hours  

So, for A the manufactured is

= 600 ÷ 3

= 200

And, finally the Maximum contribution margin  is

= (200 × $12) + (500 × 5) + (500 × 9)

= $2,400 + $2,500 + $4,500

= $9,400

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

$10,620

Explanation:

Depreciation for Year 1 = 0.202 × $50,000

                                       = $10,100

Depreciation for Year 2 = 0.323 × $50,000

                                       = $16,150

Depreciation for Year 3 = 0.194 × $50,000

                                       = $9,700

Depreciation for Year 4 = 0.125 × $50,000

                                       = $6,250

Accumulated depreciation = $10,100 + $16,150 + $9,700 + $6,250

                                             = $42,200

Book value of machine as on date of sale:

= Purchase price - Accumulated depreciation

= $50,000 - $42,200

= $7,800

Selling price = $12,500

Gain on sale of machine = $12,500 - $7,800

                                         = $4,700

Tax rate = 40%

Tax on capital gain = $4,700 × 0.40

                                = $1,880

Net proceeds on sale of machine:

= Selling price – Tax paid on capital gain

= $12,500 - $1,880

= $10,620
