Answer 1

Answer: $240,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Frank's percentage level of fault = 20%

Guy's harbor percentage level of fault = 80%

Worth of lawsuit filed = $300,000

Going by the 50% rule comparative negligence principles; Guy harbor's liability of negligence will be calculated based on the percentage of fault assigned to the company.

Here, the fault assigned to guy harbor = 80%

Worth of lawsuit = $300,000

Hence, Frank will recover ;

80% of $300,000

0.8 × 300,000 = $240,000
