In a negligence action in a jurisdiction that had adopted comparative negligence, a jury rendered a verdict that the plaintiff s

uffered $90,000 in damages and was 10 percent at fault. The plaintiff’s attorney had presented evidence and argued in his closing argument that the plaintiff’s damages were $100,000. Immediately after the verdict, the plaintiff, with permission from the court, discussed the case with all six of the jurors together before they left the courtroom. The plaintiff discovered that each of the jurors thought, contrary to the court’s instructions, that the damage amount was the amount that the plaintiff would receive, rather than the amount from which 10 percent would be deducted. The plaintiff seeks to offer testimony from each juror to that effect in order to increase the amount of the verdict to $100,000. Is the testimony of the jurors admissible?A. Yes, because a mistake was made by the jury in rendering its verdict.B. Yes, because the jury misunderstanding was related to the applicable law, rather than the facts.C. No, because a juror cannot be questioned about a verdict in the presence of the other jurors.D. No, because a juror cannot testify as to any juror’s mental processes concerning a verdict.

Answer:<em><u> The testimony of the jurors is not  admissible, because a juror cannot testify as to any juror’s mental processes concerning a verdict.</u></em>

During March, Adams Company had sales of $5,000,000, variable expenses of $3,000,000, and fixed expenses of $1,500,000. Assume t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Variable cost as a percent of sales:  

= (Variable expenses ÷ Sales) × 100

= ($3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) × 100  

= 60%

If Sales = X

then Variable cost is 0.6X (i.e. 60% of Sales)

Sales - Variable cost - fixed expenses = net operating income

X - 0.6X - 1,500,000 = 300,000

0.4X = 300000 + 1500000 = 1800000

X = 1800000 ÷ 0.4

  = 4,500,000

mel-nik [20]

From the given description, Chip is using an experimental design called (A) matching.

Matching <u>is a type of experimental design where the researcher divide his or her samples into two groups of treatment conditions, which serves to ensure that before the treatment, both groups have the samples with the same characteristics, thus ensuring that the results of the experiment would not be influenced by any confounding variables that the samples have.</u>

Chip is doing this to ensure that samples that have been influenced by other variables which determine their decision to hire are distributed evenly in both the experimental and control group.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

I, II and III.

Explanation:

Price ceiling refers to the price control policy that is used by the government to protect the customers who are not able afford goods at the prevailing price.

If government of a nation sets a price ceiling below the equilibrium price level then this will increase the quantity demanded for the product because now goods become more affordable to the consumers and decreases the quantity supplied because it will become less profitable for the producers.

Hence, the demand for goods exceeds the supply of goods, this will create a shortage of goods in an economy.
