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.

Explanation:

Santa Klaus Toys

The Price of the stock 5 years from today will be :

P5=D6/(r-g)=

D0*(1+g)^6/(r-g)

Where

D0 =3

g =3.9%

r=11.7%

Hence:

P5=3*(1+3.9%)^6/(11.7%-3.9%)

P5=3*(1+0.039)^6/(0.117-0.039)

P5=3*(1.039)^6/(0.078)

P5=3.77410/0.078

P5=48.3860

As we can see, how much the government spends depends on the level of taxation. Fiscal policy are therefor rules and guidelines that utilize spending and taxation to manage the economy.

1. Reduction of taxes

2. Increasing government spending

c).  The reasons why some fiscal measures may not work in the small open economies in the Caribbean are:

1. Fiscal expansion by increasing government spending leads to the crowding out effect by the private sector.

2. Fiscal expansion can lead to increased levels of disposable income, increasing the demand for goods and services. This causes an increase in price leading to inflation.

3. Fiscal contractionary policies, which are rarely used include reducing government spending and increasing taxes. This reduces the supply of money in the economy, thus causing a budget surplus. This if not controlled, causes deflation that reduces the levels of output and employment.

d). The crowding out effect is caused by increased government spending in the public sector to the point that the private sector is driven down or in some instances are totally done away with.Crowding out effect can be avoided by offering investment subsidies. Thus the private sector can grow since the cost of investment is manageable.

Explanation:

a). Fiscal policy: fiscal policy ca be defined as the act by the government to use it's expenditure and taxation to control the economy. Government spending usually includes the purchase of goods while taxation is usually a compulsory charge by a government to finance their spending. As we can see, how much the government spends depends on the level of taxation. Fiscal policy are therefor rules and guidelines that utilize spending and taxation to manage the economy.

b). Most Caribbean countries on average are middle-income economies. Their economy largely relies on tourism, agriculture, oil and natural gas produce. With the upper middle-income Caribbean countries relying heavily on oil and natural gas export.  Most of the Caribbean countries are developing countries with economic characteristics like; high levels of unemployment and low levels of output. There are two ways in which fiscal policy can be used by Caribbean government to increase the level of employment and output in their economies. They are;

1. Reduction of business taxes. A reduction in business tax encourages investment in the economy. More investment in the company means more employment opportunities in the economy. Since tax cuts, increases disposable income by a considerable amount, this means that more income is available for production of goods and services. This causes an increase in output.

2. Increasing government spending: this can be done by offering grants to local and state governments to encourage spending on finished goods and services. By doing this, more businesses produce more since the demand is high. An increased demand requires high levels of output to satisfy the demand. Simultaneously, a larger work force is needed to meet the high levels of output required thus raises the level of employment.

c). A small open economy is an economy that takes part in international trade but due to the fact that it is small, their influence causes little or no considerable effect the international prices, rates of interest or even world income. Some of the reasons why fiscal measures cannot work in a small open economy in the Caribbean are;

1. Fiscal expansion by increasing government spending leads to the crowding out effect by the private sector.

2. Fiscal expansion can lead to increased levels of disposable income, increasing the demand for goods and services. This causes an increase in price leading to inflation.
