Answer:

The Legal entitlement of Jorge is to sue Ionic Machines, Inc in a Civil Court for Damages

Explanation:

Based on the false claim for Ionic Machines, Jorge sustained injuries while using an Ionic Machine manufactured Forklift. This leads to a Civil Damage that can be claimed in a Civil Court.

Civil Damage in a Civil Court

A civil damage is an entitlement a civil court grants a person who suffers a loss, or an injury as a result of the wrong actions of another party. What the civil court is authorised by law to do is to consider the case of put forward by Jorge and if the other party (in this case Ionic Machines, Inc) is found guilty, the Civil court will award civil damages to Jorge which is to most times in monetary compensation to restore him back to his original condition before his injuries.

Although it may be impossible to fully compensate the Plantiff for his loss, the award would be in form of compensation for medical bills, property destroyed and job loss among others.

The level of productivity is now approximately 40.6 boxes/hr

<h3>What is Productivity</h3>

Productivity refers to a ratio between a output volume and volume of input.

<u>Given data</u>

Working hours = 2*8 hours = 16 hours

New productivity = 500 + 0.3*500

New productivity = 650 box/day

New productivity =650/16 box/hour

New productivity = 40.625 box/hour

Hence, the level of productivity is now approximately 40.6 boxes/hr

Therefore, the Option B is correct.

Laredo advertises a reward for the return of his lost dog. Miguel, who does not know of the reward, finds and returns the dog, w
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

b. did not know of the reward when he returned the dog.

Explanation:

Laredo advertises for getting his dog back. This does not infer that the dog will only be returned when the reward will be paid.

Miguel did not know about the reward, so the reward in this case is not mandatory to be paid, but if Laredo initiates the reward himself, that can be accepted.

This is a clear demonstration of being kind and get what you know.

So if you do not know the facts, you are on fault.

Ginny and Eric are partners at an architecture firm. They are trying to determine which of them has a comparative advantage in b
blondinia [14]

Answer: (i) $20 per model

(ii) $27 per model

(iii) Ginny has a comparative advantage in building models.

Explanation:

A country or a firm has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodities is lower than the other country or firm.

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore,

Ginny's Opportunity cost of producing one model = \frac{400}{20}

                                                                                      = $20 per model

Eric’s opportunity cost of building models = $20 + 35% of $20

                                                                      = $20 + $7

                                                                      = $27 per model

Hence, Ginny has a comparative advantage in building models because Ginny's opportunity cost of building model is lower than Eric's opportunity cost.

TC=FC+VC

FC=40

VC=TC-FC

MC=change in TC

AFC=FC/Q

AVC=VC/0

ATC=TC/0

a) TC when 0=0 = 40 because FC = 40 remains constant and the firm still incurs a total cost equal to its FC when it produces zero output.

b) MC for first unit = 45

c) ATC of 3rd unit = 63

d) AVC for 4th unit = 93

natta225 [31]

Answer:
