        One of the questions for you to determine is whether or not (alleged agent's name) was acting within the scope of his authority.

        An agent is acting within the scope of his authority if he is engaged in the transaction of business which has been assigned to him by his principal, or if he is doing anything which may reasonably be said to have been contemplated as a part of his employment. It is not necessary that an act or failure to act must have been expressly authorized by (principal).
