COMPLETE PROBLEM
Lana, a ten-year-old child, is run over by a car negligently driven by Mitchell. Lana, at the time of the accident, was acting reasonably and without negligence. Clark, a newspaper reporter, photographs Lana while she is lying in the street in great pain. Two years later, Perry, the publisher of a newspaper, prints Clark's picture of Lana in his newspaper as a lead to an article concerning the negligence of children. The caption under the picture reads: "They ask to be killed." Lana, who has recovered from the accident, brings suit against Clark and Perry. What result? Explain.
Explanation:
Judgement for Lana against Perry but not against Clark. The facts make out a case against Perry for the tort of invasion of privacy in particular placing another in a false light (INVASION OF PRIVACY:FALSE LIGHT). Section 652E of the restatement imposes liability for publicity which places another in a false light. It is unlikely that Perry could utilize the first amendment as a defense because Lana was neither a public official nor a public figure. Even if that defense were available, it is forfeited if Perry acted with "malice", which appears to be the case here because Perry acted in reckless disregard of the truth. Clark did not commit the tort of intrusion because he photographed an event that occurred in public.
Answer:
The answer is option B. For a levered firm, flotation costs should <u>be spread over the life of a project, thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project.</u>
Explanation:
When a company’s securities are listed on a public exchange, there is a general saying that securities are floated on the exchange. That is how the name flotation costs came about.
Flotation is actually the costs incurred by a company in issuing its securities to public. it is also called issuance costs.
Examples of Flotation costs include charges paid to the investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, registration fees of the securities regulator and the exchange on which the issue is to be listed.
Flotation cost would vary based on several factors, such as company’s size, issue size, issue type (debt vs equity),
In summary, Flotation costs are the cost a company incurs to issue new stock making new equity cost more than existing ones.
Business analysts argue that flotation costs are a one-time expense that should be adjusted out of future cash flows in order to not overstate the cost of capital forever.
It is based on this premise that i chose option B, which states that flotation costs be spread over the life of a project thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project at levered firms.

Explanation:
Here, the shipping costs from overseas is part in inventory costs whereas the shipping costs to export are part of expense not inventory.
Given: Purchases during the year $15.0 million
Shipping costs from overseas$1.5 million
Shipping costs to export customers$1.0 million
Inventory at year end $3.0 million
Amount of shipping costs should be included in ABC Trading's year-end inventory valuation = (Inventory at year end)÷(Purchases during the year ) × (Shipping costs from overseas)
= ($3,000,000) ÷ ($15,000,000) × ($1,500,000)
= $300,000
Hence, the correct option is c. $300,000.
