Kathy, a fashion model, witnessed a motor vehicle accident but did not stop because she was late for her pedicure and simply did

n't want to get involved. Had she stopped, she could have saved the life of Tom, who was thrown from the car and landed in a water-filled ditch, without danger to herself. When Tom's widow hears that Kathy could have easily saved Tom's life but chose to ignore the situation, she sues Kathy. The state has no "Good Samaritan" laws or duty-to-assist laws, but such cases have been brought in the past. Which of the following will the court apply when making a decision in this case?

Answer:

common law

Explanation:

Common law is the type of law that was not explicitly written, but considered as a custom.

When good samaritan law does not apply in the state, The court does not have any justification to punish Kathy.

In this such cases, the common law tends to dictate that a person cannot be held liable to the negative results of an accident as long as the person involved is not actively doing something that make the situation worse for the victim.

Even though Kathy's behavior is morally wrong, It is very unlikely that she will be held liable by the court . That's being said,  She might receive punishment from other members in her social group (such as backlash from other people who hears about the case and deemed her as a horrible human being)

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Actual output = 5100 units

Actual direct labor-hours = 3,380 hours

Actual direct labor cost = $74,698

The  labor rate variance:

= (Actual Hours × Actual rate ) - ( Actual Hours × Standard Rate)

= $74,698 - ( 3,380 Hours × $20.40 Per Hour)

= $74,698 - $68,952

= $5,746 U

Since, the Actual is more than the Standard, the Variance is Unfavorable

Hence, the correct answer is $ 5,746 U

for having a manuscript typed at a certain typing service are $5 per page for the first time a page is typed and $3 per page eac
Kipish [7]

Answer:

total cost of having the manuscript type is $680

Explanation:

given data

first time = $5 per page

revised = $3 per page

manuscript = 100 pages

revised only once = 40

revised twice = 10

to find out

total cost of having the manuscript typed

solution

we know for 1st time page  cost is

page 1st time = 100 - 40 - 10  = 50 page

cost 1st time = 50 × $5 per page = $250    .................1

and

for first revision

first revision page = 40

cost of first revision = 40 × ( first time $5 + first revision $3 )

cost of first revision = 40 × 8 = $320       ......................2

and

for second revision

second revision page = 10

second revision cost = 10 ×  ( first time $5 + first revision $3 + second revision $3  )

second revision cost = 10 × 11 = $110     ..........................3

add all 3 equation

total = $250  +  $320 + $110

so total cost of having the manuscript type is $680

Suppose that, due to exceptionally good weather in the Mid West, the United States experiences an increase in grain production i
Eva8 [605]

In this question, we are not provided with the specific numbers that are necessary to produce a graphical approach. Therefore, we cannot provide that part of the answer. However, we are able to talk, in general terms, about what an increase of grain production in the United States would cause in the rest of the world.

This is an effect of what is known as globalization. Globalization refers to the integration of the world's markets in goods and services, as well as flows of investment and people across national boundaries.

In order for globalization to take place, several processes have to occur first. Nations begin specializing in the production of good and services in which they are relatively low-cost producers. This allows for mutual gains for people in trading countries. However, while some groups might benefit, some others might be harmed by this pattern, such as those producing the goods that compete with the imports. In this example, some countries might benefit, but those that compete with the United States in terms of grain production might be damaged by the increased production of the United States.
