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: Total Variable Costs = $110130
Explanation:
The question in incomplete. Requirements were not provided in the question, as a result it is not clear what the question requires us to do. We will assume the question requires us to calculate Total variable costs since There is nothing in the question that talks about fixed costs.
Total Variable Costs
Manufacturing costs
Direct Material Per pound = $2.95
Direct Material used = 27800 pounds
Direct Material Cost = 27800 x 2.95 = $82010
Direct Labor
Direct Labor cost per hour = $6.20
Direct Labor hours = 3800
Direct Labour Cost = 3800 x $6.20 = $23560
Variable Manufacturing overhead cost = $4560
Total Variable Costs = Direct Material cost + Direct labor costs + Variable Manufacturing overhead
Total Variable Costs = $82010 + $23560 + $4560
Total Variable Costs = $110130
