Under what doctrine discussed in this chapter might Buy-Mart be held liable for the tort committed by Watts? What is the key factor in determining whether Buy-Mart is liable under this doctrine? How is Buy-Mart’s potential liability affected by whether Watts’s behavior constituted an intentional tort or a tort of negligence? Suppose that when Watts applied for the job at Buy-Mart, she disclosed in her application that she had previously been convicted of felony assault and battery. Nevertheless, Buy-Mart hired Watts as a cashier. How might this fact affect Buy-Mart’s liability for Watts’s actions?

Explanation:

1) Buy-Mart must be held liable for the tort committed by Watts under the doctrine of "respondent superior".

The assumption under this doctrine is that the employers are in a better position to absorb the cost which arises from employees' tort. So, in this case, the superior/employer is liable for the actions of its employees or agents who have committed torts.

2) The key factor in the scenario under consideration is the doctrine of respondent superior, as the employer is responsible for the torts which are committed by the employees in the scope /course of employment.

3) Buy-mart will be accountable in intentional tort and in the tort of negligence because the doctrine of respondent superior does not distinguish between two. Walmart's behavior is wrong in the scope of employment so Buy Mart is responsible.

4) In this scenario, Buy mart is responsible. An employer already knows or should know that the employee has the tendency to commit tortious acts is responsible for the employee action even if the act is not within the scope of employment. So, as watt action was not in the scope of employment, Buy Mart would be responsible for the same.

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine
