Business Finance Homework Help

I’m trying to learn for my Business Law class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

the reading is in the attached file.

1. What if the custodian hit one of the schoolchildren for calling him a name? Is the school district liable?
2. Fernando worked for Affinity, which made furniture deliveries for Sears. Fernando signed a contract stating that he was an independent contractor. He was paid $23 per delivery. He typically worked five to seven days a week, but Affinity would call him each day to tell him whether or not he would be working the following day. Fernando was not required to, but he did, lease his truck from Affinity. The company handled upkeep on the truck. Affinity required all drivers to buy their mobile telephones and their uniforms from the company. It also established personal grooming requirements. Was Fernando an employee or independent contractor?
