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.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Anna contributes = $50,000 of cash

Parcel of land:

Adjusted basis = $100,000

Fair market value = $150,000

Therefore,

Anna's tax basis for her partnership interest :

= Adjusted basis + Cash contribution

= $100,000 + $50,000

= $150,000

Hence, Anna has a $150,000 tax basis for her partnership interest.

An online sales order processing system most likely would have an advantage over a batch sales order processing system by: Recor
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The answer is: Enabling shipment of customer orders to be initiated as soon as the orders are received.

Explanation:

In a batch sales ordering process, your sales team gathers information about sales throughout an specific period of time and then enters it into the system all at once. While an online sales order processing system processes each sales transactions into your system immediately.

Imagine you want to buy a set of chairs and the salesman takes your order at 9 AM. If the salesman uses a batch sales ordering process, he might have to wait until midday to place your sales order along with all the other sales he did in the morning. If he was using an online sales order processing system, your sale would have been processed immediately without any other delay. That obviously saves time.
