Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Defectively designed the product.

Explanation:

To prevail a claim on product liability, plaintiffs must present clear proof. Two aspects must be reviewed about the proofs so that the position of the plaintiff can be solid: The first of them is what kind of proofs are needed. It will depend on the state where all the issues took place. The second is what kind of recovery theory will be used to expose the proofs. Among the most common we can identify <em>Negligence, Tortious misrepresentation, and Warranty Breach</em>.

In that sense, option "C" is correct because if a given company defectively designed a product though they started to sell it (<em>negligence</em>), it will have liability in the case there was a personal injury in the person who used that product (<em>plaintiff</em>).

Describe at least three exchange rate factors that are likely to attract foreign investors to a country's currency. Explain why
lana66690 [7]

Answer: 1. High Interest

2. Low Government Debt

3. Political Stability

Explanation:

Foreign Investors are Investors and investors always like to invest where there are prospects of growth and profit.

High Interest Rates give them the opportunity to invest their money in a currency that will give them a great return because a country where there are high interest rates imparts this on its currency which causes it to rise in value thereby giving currency holders a capital gain.

Another factor is Government Debt. A country with high Government debt will typically be unable to raise funds through the bond market easily. This shortage of funds can lead to inflation which devalues currency causing foreign currency investors to flee.

Finally there is the Political Factor (other factors exist). A stable country politically stands a better chance of maintaining a higher value currency that one with lower political stability. This is because political Stability attracts investors and as more investments come into a country, this reflects in its currency by making it stronger which will attract foreign currency investors.
