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:
B. The time spent on the task
Explanation:
The time that Dana spends carrying out her task is a cost to her. That cost can be calculated by ascertaining the gains or benefits she has missed due to the research.
If Dana were not doing the research, she would be engaged in other activities. Those activities could have been of benefit to her, be it financially or otherwise. The benefits foregone are the cost of Dana doing the research.
Answer:
$5,360
(not given in the options)
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of cost to an asset based on estimates. It is given as
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
When originally purchased, a vehicle costing $23,040 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of $1,600
Annual depreciation = ($23,040 - $1,600)/8
= $2,680
After 4 years
Accumulated depreciation = 4 × $2,680
= $10,720
The net book value then
= $23,040 - $10,720
= $12,320
Since the asset's total estimated useful life was revised from 8 years to 6 years and there was no change in the estimated salvage value
New depreciation = ($12,320 - $1,600)/2
= $5,360
The depreciation expense in year 5 equals $5,360

Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
Decentralized is the process in which the power, functions are distributed or dispersed from the central location or authority to the lower level of the management.
So, in a organization or company which is decentralized where lower level managers are empowered for taking a decision leads to increase in the motivation as well as the job satisfaction of the employees.
