You have a sideline business buying and selling vintage jukeboxes. You have room to store up to two jukeboxes and feel certain that the following prices will prevail over the next four months: Month 1 2 3 4
Sell (Ask) Price $2500 $2800 $2000 $2700
Buy (Bid) Price $2600 $2900 $2100 $2800

Each month, you have a choice of one of the following three actions:

Buy: buy one jukebox at the bid price (unless you already have two in storage)
Hold: do nothing (allowable with any number of jukeboxes in storage, including zero)
Sell: sell one jukebox at the ask price (unless you do not have any left in storage). Thus, you may buy or sell at most one jukebox per month.

You have a direct holding cost of $100 for each jukebox in storage at the end of each month (for maintenance and cleaning), and want to maximize your profit from trading jukeboxes over the next four months. Assume that you do not have any jukeboxes currently in storage, and that you ascribe a "salvage" value of $2000 to each jukebox left over after the end of the four months (holding cost at the end of month four still applies to any such jukeboxes).

Alandlord rented an art studio to an artist. under the terms of the signed, written, two-year lease, the artist agreed to pay the landlord $1,000 per month and to assume responsibility for all necessary repairs. after the first year of the lease, the artist assigned the balance of his lease to a sculptor. the landlord approved the sculptor as a tenant and accepted two rent payments from her, and then the landlord sold the building to an investor. the sculptor had made two payments to the investor when an electrical fire broke out in the studio, injuring the sculptor. the fire was caused by faulty wiring. the landlord was aware that there was a dangerous wiring problem when he leased the property to the artist. but when the landlord discovered how costly repairs would be, he decided it would be more profitable to sell the property than to repair it. the problem was not easily discoverable by anyone other than an expert electrician, and the landlord did not tell the artist, the sculptor, or the investor about the problem. the sculptor sues to recover damages for her injuries. from whom can the sculptor recover?
