Aformer construction worker became intoxicated one night and decided to move some heavy construction equipment that was parked at a construction site. ignoring "no trespassing" signs, the worker jumped the fence and climbed into a large dump truck and started it up. however, even though he knew how to operate the truck, he quickly lost control of it due to his intoxication. it rumbled a short distance and crashed into a trailer housing the main office of the construction site. the worker is prosecuted for recklessly damaging property. a separate statute in the jurisdiction prohibited the unauthorized operation of construction equipment. should the worker be found guilty of recklessly damaging property?

The possible answers are:

A . Yes, because his actions constituted an unlawful operation of the construction equipment.

B. Yes, because he was intoxicated while attempting to move the construction equipment.

C. No, because at most he could be found guilty of criminal negligence.

D. No, because he must have been aware that his conduct would cause the damage to the trailer in order to be found guilty of reckless damage.

The correct answer is:

B. Yes, because he was intoxicated while attempting to move the construction equipment.

Explanation:

The worker should be found guilty, since he was aware of being intoxicated from the beginning of the action, knowing in advance that when operating the heavy construction equipment there would be a great threat for the people and properties around. Besides, he was also aware about the alarming signs, due to the fact that he could not reach the dum truck normally, he had to jump the fence to reach it, increasing the risk with his actions.

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
