Answer:

B. is not liable because Mike was on a frolic of his own.

Explanation:

Mike who is a dispatch rider, decided to see his girlfriend, Jackie, who lived 50 miles off his pizza route. He had an accident while driving to his girlfriend's, and injured a pedestrian, Chuck due to his negligent driving.

Under the circumstances, Frank's Pizza isn't liable because Mike was on a frolic of his own. Mike embarking on a 50 mile drive to see his girlfriend is frolicsome and outside the scope of his employment as a delivery agent.

Hence, this will absolve his employer from any liability as he wasn't working on the designated route at the time.

Answer:

The balance of total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity is $640,000, $440,000 and $200,000 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation of the balance of total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity after considering the lease payment  is shown below:

For Total assets  

= Total assets balance + present value of lease payments

= $600,000 + $40,000

= $640,000

For Total liabilities

= Total liabilities balance + present value of lease payments

= $400,000 + $40,000

= $440,000

And, the total stockholders' equity is $200,000

While computing the stockholder equity, the lease payment does not have an impact on the stockholder equity so the balance would remain the same as before

Sales office           10 years         $47,000           $4,700

Warehouse          25 years         $75,000           $7,500

total                                                                      $14,000

Even though the useful life or the warehouse and parking lot is longer than 10 years, since the lease contract is only for 10 years, then it must be depreciated in 10 years.
