Answer to Question 1

Judgment will be for ABC for 350. ABC had exercised due care by securing its premises and having a commonly-used, properly-working alarm system. As a result, Nelson, the bailor, must bear the loss of the bailed property (the computer). Additionally, because ABC had performed the requested services (repair of the computer) before the computer was stolen, and because the computer was stolen through no fault of ABC's, ABC is entitled to be paid for its services.

Answer to Question 2

B

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
