A State A consumer was in a traffic accident with a State B driver. The State A consumer’s car burst into flames, causing horrif

ic injuries to the consumer. The State A consumer believes that his injuries were caused by both the State B driver’s negligence and design defects in his own car. The State A consumer thus filed a tort action for damages against both the State B driver and the manufacturer of the car. The manufacturer is also a citizen of State B. The State B driver was also burned in the accident and believes that manufacturing and design defects in the State A consumer’s car also caused his burns.
Can the State B driver assert his tort claim against the State B manufacturer in the pending action asserted by the State A consumer?
a. Yes, because the State B driver and State B manufacturer are already parties to the State A consumer's action.
b. Yes, because the State B driver's claim is a proper cross-claim and is within the court's supplemental jurisdiction.
c. No, because the State B driver's tort claim against the State B manufacturer is not between citizens of different states.
d. No, because the State B driver's claim is not a proper cross-claim.
B Yes, because the State B driver's claim is a proper cross-claim and is within the court's supplemental jurisdiction.

Answer: The correct answer is B. Yes, because the State B driver's claim is a proper cross-claim and is within the court's supplemental jurisdiction.

Explanation:

Option B is correct because the State B driver can assert his tort claim against the State B manufacturer. The driver's claim is a proper crossclaim and this is because it arises from the same occurrence as with State A consumer's claim.

In which of the following situations would a delegation of contractual duties be allowed? Multiple Choice A painter hired to pai
Trava [24]

Answer:

A painter hired to paint your home.

Explanation:

Delegation of contractual duty occurs when the individual that is supposed to perform a task transfers the responsibility of performing the task to another person.

For example if someone is supposed to paint a house but he has other engagements. He can delegate to another painter to perform the painting.

Delegation does not transfer contractual rights as the original person still collects payment for performance of the task.

Usually delegation can occur for tasks that do not require special skill and can be performed by anyone.

In the other scenarios special skill is required so delegation will not be usually allowed.

Burnett Corp. pays a constant $8.15 dividend on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 12 years and wil
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

$52.91

Explanation:

With regards to the above, we will apply the dividend discount model to come up with the price for share.

Under the dividend discount model, the price for share represents the present value of all its future dividend discounted at the required rate of return.

Since the share has 12 annual equal dividend payments of 8.15 each year, while the required rate is 11%, we can apply the below annuity to arrive at the share price.

(8.15/0.11) × [ 1- 1.11^(-12) ] = $52.91

Therefore, the current share price is $52.91

In the corn market, demand often exceeds supply and supply sometimes exceeds demand. The price of corn rises and falls in respon
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

d) in both statements

Explanation:

Demand is individual buyer's ability & willingness to buy a good, at given price, period of time. Supply is individual seller's ability & willingness to sell a good, at a given price, period of time.

Market Demand is all market buyers' ability & willingness to buy a good, at given price, period of time. It is horizontal, i.e quantity summation of individual demand curves, at respective prices.

Market Supply is all market sellers' ability & willingness to sell a good, at a given price, period of time. It is horizontal, i.e quantity summation of individual supply curves, at respective prices.

Market Equilibrium prices are quantities are determined based on, Market Demand & Market Supply equalisation (not individual demand, supply). So, 'in the corn market' , 'price of corn' are  determined by market demand & market supply. Hence, using 'demand' & 'supply' in both statements is inapt.
