An attorney came to work on a Saturday. When he signed in, he was advised by the morning security guard employed by the building

management that he must be out of the building by 5 p.m., when it closes. However, he stayed past 5 p.m. to complete a brief that had to be filed on Monday morning. At 5:15 p.m., the afternoon security guard set the locks on all the doors of the building and left. Because she was in a hurry, she did not check the sign-in sheet to make sure that everyone had signed out, contrary to mandatory procedures. When the attorney tried to exit 15 minutes later, he discovered that the doors were all locked and could not be opened from the inside. He used his cell phone to call for help, and a supervisor from the building arrived and let him out shortly thereafter. If the attorney sues the building management for false imprisonment, is he likely to win

Answer:

The attorney will most likely lose if he sues for false imprisonment

Explanation:

False imprisonment is also called unlawful imprisonment. It is the act of confining a person to an area without legal authority, justification, or consent of the person that is restrained.

In the given scenario the attorney was informed that he office will be locked by 5 am. If he was staying longer he should have informed the security.

Also the security guard did not intentionally lock him in as she was not aware he was present.

For one to be guilty of false imprisonment these three conditions should be met:

- an act that confines a person to a particular area

- intention of confining the person

- causation

These conditions were not met in this case.

What percentage profit is made on a sale if the selling price is $225,000 and the purchase price is $190,000?
IgorLugansk [536]

The percentage profit = 18%

A profit is made on sale with selling price more than the purchasing price. The purchasing price is also known as the cost price.

Given the selling price = $225000

and the purchasing price = $190000

Since the selling price is more than the purchasing price, there is obviously a profit gained.

Now profit amount = Selling price - Purchasing price

                                = 225000-190000 = $35000

Profit percentage = (Profit / Purchasing price) x 100%

                             = (35000 / 190000) x 100%

                             = 18.42%

Suppose you've just inherited $10,000 from a relative. You're trying to decide whether to put the $10,000 in a non-interest-bear
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

$800

$1,000

The quantity of money demanded decreases as the interest rate rises.

Explanation:

a

To calculate the opportunity cost on government bond at 8%, we use the following method

Opportunity Cost for 8% interest rate on Government Bonds

= (8/100)%× $10,000

= 0.08% ×$10,000

= $800

To calculate the opportunity cost government at bond on 10%, we use the following method

Opportunity Cost for 10% interest rate on Government Bonds

= (10/100)%× $10,000

= 0.1%×$10,000

= $1,000

b. The quantity of money demanded decreases as the interest rate rises.

A woman buys a house for a ​$320000. She pays ​$40000 down and takes out a mortgage at 5.7​% for 20 years on the balance. Find h
sdas [7]

Answer:

PMT= 1957.850

Explanation:

For this case the total payment is $320000, and she pays $40000 so the remain amount to pay would be:

$320000-40000=$ 280000

For this case we assume that the annual interest rate is APR=5.7% =0.057 on fraction.

The total number of years are 20. For this case n represent the number of payments per year and since we have monthly payments then n =12.

In order to find the PMT we can use the following formula:

PMT= \frac{P(\frac{APR}{n})}{[1-(1+\frac{APR}{n})^{-nt}]}

On the last expression the APR needs to be on fraction and P represent the principal amount, for this case P = $280000. So if we replace we got:

PMT= \frac{280000(\frac{0.057}{12})}{[1-(1+\frac{0.057}{12})^{-12*20}]}

PMT= 1957.850

And we can verify this using the following excel function: "=PMT(0.057/12,12*20,-280000)"
