An army pilot from State A was injured when his helicopter crashed due to a defect in the tail rotor. The helicopter was manufac

tured by a contractor, a private company incorporated and with its principal place of business in State B. The contractor produced equipment for use by the military pursuant to contracts with the United States government. The army pilot brought a strict products liability action in federal district court in State B against the contractor, alleging $200,000 in damages. The contractor seeks to assert a defense recognized and developed by federal courts for private defense contractors involved in contracts with the United States government. Although not set forth by federal statute or other federal rule, the defense has been used to allow private defense contractors to avoid tort liability under state law. State B does not recognize this defense. What law should the federal district court apply to this issue

  • The district court will first determine if there is a conflict between state and federal law with regard to the matter at hand before deciding whether to apply state or federal law.
  • If there is a contradiction between the appropriate state and federal laws, the district court must determine whether a valid federal statute or Federal Rule addresses the contested matter.
  • If there is no applicable federal act or regulation, the court must decide whether federal common law or state law should be applied.
  • When a "uniquely federal interest" is at risk and a considerable conflict arises between that interest and the operation of state law, the Supreme Court has also acknowledged the application of federal common law.

<h3>Federal district court took decision -</h3>
  • If there are significant, overriding federal interests at stake that require the application of federal law, a federal court may still apply federal common law.
  • Such federal interests are evident in this case, as was previously discussed.

Spice asks Meyers about how a fixed-income manager would position his portfolio to capitalize on expectations of increasing inte
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a. Shorten his portfolio duration

Explanation:

The best action to take in order to capitalize on expectations of increasing interest rates would be to shorten his portfolio duration. This is because an increase in the interest rate causes his portfolio value to decrease, yet if the duration of his portfolio is shortened then the change/decrease in value will be lesser than if done otherwise.

2. Pure Water is considering buying new production equipment. The new equipment will increase fixed costs by $200,000 per year a
BARSIC [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But before that we need to do the following calculations which are shown below:

The Contribution per unit of faucet is

= $75 - $15

= $60

And, the Contribution per unit of pitcher filter is

= $100 - $30

= $70

Now Contribution per unit in present sales mix is

= [($60 × 2) + ($70 × 3)] ÷ 5

= ($120 + $210) ÷ 5

= $66 per unit

And

The Fixed cost is

= $1,000,000 + $200,000

= $1,200,000

Now  

Break even units is

= $1,200,000 ÷ $66 per unit

= 18,181.81 units

For faucet, it is

= (18,181.81 × 2) ÷ 5

=  7,272.72 units

For pitcher filter, it is

= (18,181.81 × 3) ÷ 5

= 10,909.086 units
