Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a mutual benefit bailment, both parties receive some form of benefit or advantage from the bailment. In such a case, the duty that is owed by both parties is the duty of ordinary care, which is a reasonable level of care and skill that one would expect from a reasonable person under the circumstances. Each party is expected to take reasonable steps to ensure that the bailed goods are not damaged or lost, and to use the goods only for the stated purpose. The other options do not accurately reflect the standard of care required in a mutual benefit bailment.
