Answer:

the gourmet food that he was fed was poorly prepared

Explanation:

Shopkeeper's priviledge is the law that allows United States shop owners detain people that shoplifted from their shop.

They must have proof that the person did the crime and also are only able to hold him for a reasonable time.

In the given scenario the shop owner catches Ed red-handed in the act of shoplifting. He and an employee gently restrain Ed in the back room, feeding him gourmet food and wine until the local sheriff finally shows up three days later.

Ed can win a tort of false imprisonment if the gourmet food that he was fed was poorly prepared.

There must be proper care given while the suspect is being detained. Being fed poorly prepared food means he was detained under conditions that could be detrimental to his health

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Option C,$2,997 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The amount to be paid  in quarterly installments over a 5 year period is the list price less the down payment and the trade-in value of $10,000 as shown below.

list price                $65,000

down-payment    ($6,000)

trade-in-value      ($10,000)

balance                $49,000

The quarterly installment can be computed using the pmt formula in excel as follows:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the quarterly interest rate of 8%/4=2%

nper is the number of quarterly installments which is 4*5=20

pv is the present value of the amount to be paid in installments which is $49000

fv is the future value ,it is not unknown,hence it is zero

=pmt(2%,20,-49,000,0)

=$2,996.68  

approx.$$2,997

alex41 [277]
A. Sounding your horn to have fun is just absurd, and could cause an issue. Either leading to other drivers to have a scare and wonder what was the problem, or they would get angry because they'd think you're trying to be rude. So, answer A. is incorrect. 

B. Sound your horn to demand the right-of-way is extremely wrong, and incorrect. So, answer B. is incorrect. 

C. You must sound your horn when necessary in order to avoid any collisions. You must do this to help warn and prevent another driver from getting into an accident with you. Therefore, C is correct.

D. Sound your horn to give other driver a piece of your mind. This is also known as road rage, it's not worth doing since you could get distracted while driving, and could lead to serious (sometimes fatal) issues. So, answer D. is incorrect. 

So, as I said above, the correct answer is: C. W<span>hen necessary to avoid collisions 

Good luck with your studies, and I truly hope this helps!~</span>

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Long-term capital gain = $73,000

Explanation:

The long-term capital gain (LTCG) can be calculated using the following formula:

Long-term capital gain = Selling price - Cost of acquisition - Cost of improvement .............. (1)

Where;

Selling price = $212,000

Cost of acquisition = $113,000

Cost of improvement = $26,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Long-term capital gain = $212,000 - $113,000 - $26,000 = $73,000

Note:

Since no information on cost inflation index is given in the question, that implies that there is no need to use indexed cost of acquisition and indexed cost of  improvement in our calculation. Therefore, the Cost of acquisition and Cost of improvement has to be used as given in the question.
