Answer:b. because Alonzo is not in the business of selling TV's

Explanation: business which sells appliances are required to completely make sure that they sell something that is in good order, and they have proper procedure in place to check effectiveness of their appliances.

Answer:

b. because Alonzo is not in the business of selling TV's

Explanation:

First, the multiple options for the question are as follows:

A. because Alonzo exercised care in selling the Tv

b. because Alonzo is not in the business of selling TV's

c. Because the TV was not unreasonably dangerous

d. Because the TV was probably not defective when Alonzo sold it

First, Strict liability alleged by Ralph against Alonzo means to impose a liability on another person without finding a fault such as negligence or tortious intent.

it should be noted that this strict liability is usually used on cases that involve the sales of a defective product

However, this imposition cannot be made on Alonzo because although Alonzo sold the TV, he is not into selling TVs and cannot be held liable for knowingly selling a defective product. he sold his pesonal item along other items so he cannot be held for selling a defective Television.

Not more than hundred (100) words describe the nature of Ethics as a core branch of Philosophy.
kumpel [21]

Ethics is the branch of philosophy that explores the nature of moral virtue and evaluates human actions. Philosophical ethics differs from legal, religious, cultural and personal approaches to ethics by seeking to conduct the study of morality through a rational, secular outlook that is grounded in notions of human happiness or well-being. A major advantage of a philosophical approach to ethics is that it avoids the authoritarian basis of law and religion as well as the subjectivity, arbitrariness and irrationality that may characterize cultural or totally personal moral views. (Although some thinkers differentiate between "ethics," "morals," "ethical" and "moral,")

aalyn [17]

Answer:

2016: $300 million; 40%; $60 million

2017: $450 million; 60%; $90 million

Explanation:

Total costs:

= Costs incurred in 2016 + Costs incurred in 2017

= $240 + $360

= $600

In 2016:

Percent of total excepted costs:

= Costs incurred in 2016 ÷ Total costs

= $240 ÷ $600

= 0.4 or 40%

Revenue recognized:

= Percent of total excepted cost × Contract price

= 0.4 × $750 million

= $300 million

Income = Revenue recognized - Costs incurred in 2016

             = $300 million - $240 million

             = $60 million

In 2017:

Percent of total excepted costs:

= Costs incurred in 2017 ÷ Total costs

= $360 ÷ $600

= 0.6 or 60%

Revenue recognized:

= Percent of total excepted cost × Contract price

= 0.6 × $750 million

= $450 million

Income = Revenue recognized - Costs incurred in 2017

             = $450 million - $360 million

             = $90 million

Consider the production department of a manufacturer of laptop computers. Classify the cost of the processor chips.
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

All the answers are correct.

Explanation:

The cost of the processor chips is a <em>direct cost</em> because it is the vital thing of any laptops. Without a processor, the laptop is nothing but a heartless product.

The cost is <em>variable</em> because the price of a processor varies as there are various processors in the computer market.

The cost is a <em>product cost</em> because it is directly related to manufacturing a laptop.
