Edgewater Motels, Inc v Gatzke and Walgreen Company: Gatzke worked as a district manager for Walgreens. He was staying at the Edgewater Motel while he was working in Minnesota “on call 24 hours a day" for Walgreens. A fire occurred in his hotel room from a lit cigarette he dropped into the waste paper basket. The fire caused massive damage and Edgewater sued both Gatzke and Walgreens. Both were found liable for the damages.
Why do you think Walgreens would be responsible for the action of Gatzke. Was he still working when the fire took place? Can you make an argument that Walgreens is not liable?

A balanced three-phase delta-connected source has a line veltage of 120 V. It is connected to a load via a three-wire transmission line. The per-phase impedance of the delta-connected load is 30 + 120j (2. The impedance of each wire of the transmission line is 2 + 4j 2. How much power is dissipated by the load? By the transmission line? What is the power factor of the load? What is the overall power factor?

The velocity of a particle moving in the xy plane is given by ,v=(5t-4.5t^2)i+8.3j with in meters per second and t (> 0) in seconds. At t = 2.4 s and in unit-vector notation, what are (a) the x component and (b) the y component of the acceleration? (c) When (if ever) is the acceleration zero? (d) At what positive time does the speed equal 10 m/s?

Read the summary of the Wrench LLC v. Taco Bell Corporation case in the "Ethics: Implied-in-Fact Contract Prevents Unjust Result" section of Ch. 9. It is suggested that you also research and read the full court opinion, using the summary in the textbook to aid your understanding of the legal issues presented.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper using Microsoft® Word to address the following questions:
What type of intellectual property was at issue in this case? Were these ideas entitled to protection under the law?
Explain the difference between an implied-in-law (quasi contract) and an implied-in-fact contract. What type of contract was at issue in this case?
Explain what the parties could have done differently to protect their rights and avoid this dispute.
Explain how a properly written contract could have been utilized for the licensing and use of the intellectual property to prevent the issue, and provide terms you would recommend be included in such a contract.
Identify and explain each of the elements that would have been necessary to form a valid contract.

Sell on Credit Corp.’s (SCC) aged accounts receivable list is available in Excel in the Project 1 Data file.
Other pertinent facts include the following:
• SCC’s balance in its “allowance for doubtful accounts” account on January 1, 20X7, was a $4,600 credit.
• On March 31, 20X7, SCC unexpectedly collected a $1,950 accounts receivable due from KML Corp. that it wrote off in 20X6.
• During the year, SCC wrote off a total of $3,800 in uncollectable accounts.
• SCC uses a balance sheet approach (aging method) to estimate its uncollectable accounts.
Based on historical experience, SCC provides for bad debts as follows:
Aging period Days outstanding 0-30 31-60 61-90 > 91 Historical percent loss 1% 5% 10% 30%
Required: a) Prepare all journal entries required during the year and at year end to properly reflect SCC’s accounting for its bad debt expense/allowance for doubtful accounts. Ensure that your journal entry(ies) includes an explanation as to the nature of the transaction. Intermediate Financial Reporting 1 Project 1 4 / 9 b) Use a T-account to reconcile the change in the opening (January 1, 20X7) and closing (December 31, 20X7) balances in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Ensure that the reconciliation includes all the journal entries you prepared in part

Describe your design for a transformer that steps up voltage from 120 to 1200 V. (Talk about the numbers of turns and the material of the core, specifically.) Will the input and output be AC or DC electricity (there is only one right answer for this one unless you get fancy)? Compare the input current to the output current (hint: the output power in the secondary coils should be calculated to be the same (actually slightly less, due to inefficiencies) as the input power in primary coils.
Talk briefly about another device that uses induction for practical purposes.

This week we will discuss the aspects of distribution when launching your new V Fusion. See this link https://www.campbells.com/v8/ for more information.
As you consider distribution, address the following items:
Is distribution an important element of the marketing mix?
What value does it add to the product?
Describe one of the three major distribution strategies with an example.
Discuss whether that strategy is successful including your rationale.
Provide a real life example of channel conflict and discuss why the conflict may exist.

A 2000 v signle phase synchorunus generator isbeing used as a backup generator outside a diagnostic center in Islamabad . when the generator terminals are short circuited and a field exication current if 2.5 A is passed, the ammeter between the terminals read 100 A of full load current . if this terminals of the same generator are opened and the voltage across them is measured using a voltmeter , we get the value of 500V with the same exciatation cureent . the armature resistance is 0.8 ohms.
Determine the voltage regulation of this generator if it is delivering 100 A during normal operating with unity power factor , 100A with 0.8 leading PF and with 0.71 lagging PF
