Answer:

win, because Pamela's misrepresentation was not a material fact and did not increase Forever Young's risk in insuring Pamela's life.

Explanation:

A material fact is defined as the rationality of a person making a decision that is important as opposed to one that is trivial or unimportant. It is a fact that if suppressed would have led to a different decision in a particular situation.

Paula will most likely win the case because the lack of disclosure by Pamela of when she had an infected hang-nail removed and her toe treated cannot be linked by a reasonable person to a brain aneurysm.

This lack disclosure would not have increased the risk of Forever Young in Pamela's life insurance.

The budgeted annual cost of operating a post office truck is $5,500 plus $0.50 per mile. In 2008 the truck was to be driven 25,0
finlep [7]

Answer:

The total cost of operating a truck would be $18000 as calculated below.

Explanation:

The total costs of operating the truck is a combination of fixed costs of $5500 per year and variable of $0.50 per mile ,hence the total cost function is given as:

TC=5500+0.50X

Where represents the number of miles driven per year.

Since X=25000 miles

TC=$5500+($0.50*25000)

TC=$5500+$12500

TC=$18000

The understanding here is that wages paid to the two employees working  with the truck is already embedded in the fixed costs of $5500 per year, otherwise that would been given as a distinct cost entirely.

GDP = Cost of bread to the engineer = $6

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

No, the tax treatment will not be same.

All the amounts received by Billy, are during the course of business, and are related to the damages caused to business, and to him personally, and under tax these all amounts are tax free:

Amount received for personal injury of $100,000 is tax free as is related to expense of his personal recovery.

The amount of $50,000 and $15,000 though received from different sources but is for the same purpose of loss of income and destruction caused to business.

Whereas, amber is an employee, she is not the owner and therefore, all of the benefits received from her workplace are taxable.

As the policy was purchased by the employer and therefore, any amount received from such policy by amber will be taxable as a perquisite received from employer.
