Answer: The correct answer is "C. Comparative negligence."

Explanation: In Flo’s product liability suit against Girder, the company can most successfully raise the defense of​ comparative negligence.

The comparative negligence defense can be used successfully because although the company is guilty of the accident, Flo is somewhat guilty in the fact that I do not use any corresponding safety equipment.

Answer:

C) ​comparative negligence.

Explanation:

In common law, comparative negligence is a legal defense used to try to share the blame of causing an accident or aggravating the injuries resulting from an accident.

In this case, the company cannot claim that it wasn't negligent by selling a defective beam, but it can claim that Flo's injuries were aggravated by the fact that she didn't use protective gear. So she should partially share the blame of her injuries.

The same happens when a speeding car hits a pedestrian who didn't look at the road before trying to cross the street. The car is responsible for hitting the pedestrian, but the pedestrian is also partially responsible for not looking at the street before trying to cross.

A stock has had the following year-end prices and dividends: Year Price Dividend 1 $ 43.37 - 2 48.35 $ .60 3 57.27 .63 4 45.35 .
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

geometric mean return = 1.2%

arithmetic mean return = 1.21%

Explanation:

Year            Price            Dividend              Yearly return

1                  $43.37                 -                            0

2                 $48.35            $0.60                      1.24%

3                 $57.27            $0.63                       1.1%

4                 $45.35            $0.80                       1.76%

5                 $52.27            $0.85                       1.63%

6                  $61.35            $0.93                       1.52%

geometric mean return = [(1 + 0) x (1 + 0.0124) x (1 + 0.011) x (1 + 0.0176) x (1 + 0.0163) x (1 + 0.0152)]¹/⁶ - 1 = 1.012 - 1 = 0.012 = 1.2%

arithmetic mean return = (0% + 1.24% + 1.1% + 1.76% + 1.63% + 1.52%) / 6 = 7.25% / 6 = 1.21%

Shmotel Industries wants to build a new manufacturing plant. Their target ROI is 20% and the investment required to build the ho
just olya [345]

Answer:

Price  = $1,000

Explanation:

Price to be charged = (Production cost + Target return)/ units

<em />

<em>Required target return- ROI × investment cost</em>

= 20% × 1,000,000 = $200,000

<em>Production cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost</em>

Production cost = (500 × 200) +  200,000 = 300000

<em>Total sales revenue to achieve a return= Production cost + target return </em>

= 300,000 + 200,000 = 500,000

Selling price per unit = $500,000/500 units

                                  = $1,000

Connor and McKenzie hold the same position at Delta Inc. However, Connor earns more than McKenzie. Which statement justifies the
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) Connor meets higher productivity targets than McKenzie.

Explanation:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects employees against workplace discrimination based on national origin (option E) and gender (option C).

There is also a law (Age Discrimination in Employment Act) that protects older employees from discrimination due to their age, but option D would not be the case because that law doesn't protect young employees. Usually older employees are discriminated, not younger ones, so option D doesn't apply either.

A weaker economic background per se usually does not represent a limitation on your salary since companies tend to pay according to performance, not social status (option B is out).

As stated before, companies tend to pay their employees based on their performance, and if Connor meets higher productivity productivity targets, then it is reasonable that he earns a higher salary. He just works better.
