alexandr402 [8]

Monthly instalments of $258

During March, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 20,000 units

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

$2.18 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material cost per equivalent units is shown below:

As we know that

Direct Material cost per equivalent unit is

= Direct material cost ÷ equivalent units

where,

Direct material cost is

= $253,500 + $93,700

= $347,200

And, the number of equivalent units is

Equivalent units of production = Units processed + closing work-in-progress

= [(20,000 + 100,000) × 100%] + (39,000 × 100%)

= 120,000 + 39,000

= 159,000

Now the cost per equivalent unitis

= $347,200 ÷ 159,200

= $2.18 per unit

a newspaper, prints Clark’s picture of Lana in his newspaper as a lead to an article concerning the negligence of children. The

den301095 [7]

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.

How much would you have to deposit today if you wanted to have $54,000 in five years? Annual interest rate is 8%. (PV of $1. FV

mestny [16]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A) How much would you have to deposit today if you wanted to have $54,000 in five years? The annual interest rate is 8%.

We need to use the following formula:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 54,000/(1.08^5)= $36,751.49

B) Assume that you are saving up for a trip around the world when you graduate in two years. If you can earn 7% on your investments, how much would you have to deposit today to have $14,500 when you graduate?

PV= 14,500/1.07^2= $12,664.86

C) Calculate the future value of an investment of $643 for eleven years earning an interest of 8%.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 643*1.08^11= $1,499.24

D) Would you rather have $643 now or $1,000 eleven years from now?

It depends on the interest rate. We will assume 8%.

PV= 1000/1.08^11= 428.88

It is better to have $643 today.
