Answer:

Contributory negligence

Explanation:

Contributory negligence principle demonstrates failure of an injured party to act prudently, considered to be a contributory factor in the injury which they have suffered.

In this case this is the best possible defense that Winnebago is able to provide that the injured party has failed to act prudently that is used as a contributory factor for the injury they suffered.

<u>Why other options are incorrect?</u>

<u>Res ipsa loquitur</u>

It is the principle that the mere occurrence of some types of accident is sufficient to imply negligence. In this case, Winnebago cruise control is not enough to imply negligence.

<u>Assumption of risk</u>

Assumption of risk refers to a legal doctrine under which an individual is barred from recovering damages for an injury sustained when he or she voluntarily exposed him or herself to a known danger.

<u>Proximate cause:</u>

In law, a proximate cause is an event sufficiently related to an injury that the courts deem the event to be the cause of that injury

Contact [7]

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Signal mistakenly produced 1,000 defective cell phones.

<u>The $65 per phone is a sunk cost. It will remain on both decisions, therefore, we will not take into account to make the decision.</u>

Sell as it is:

Income= 33*1,000= $33,000

Rework:

Costs= 88*1,000= $88,000

Sales= 144*1,000= $144,000

Total gain= $56,000

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.
