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

Cloud [144]

Answer:

after 9 years:

FV $15,625.2437

in 14 years:

FV $31,223.0270

last, at the nineteenth year:

FV $55,222.1501

Explanation:

We have to solve for the annuity of 1,200 dollar with a yield of 9% at the proposed times:

C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time}-1 }{rate} = FV\\

C 1,200.00

time 9

rate 0.09

1200 \times \frac{(1+0.09)^{9} -1}{0.09} = FV\\

FV $15,625.2437

time = 14

1200 \times \frac{(1+0.09)^{14}-1 }{0.09} = FV\\

FV $31,223.0270

time = 19

1200 \times \frac{(1+0.09)^{19} -1}{0.09} = FV\\

FV $55,222.1501

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

$0.15 hours per unit

Explanation:

Given that

Direct material cost = $16

Assume Direct labor cost = X

Manufacturing overheads = $18

Profit margin = 20%

Direct labor per hour cost = $28

The computation of direct labor-hour input is shown below:-

Total manufacturing cost = X + $34

Total cost of goods sold = (X + $34) × 1.7 = $66

Direct labor cost per unit

= (X + $34) = $38.82

= $38.82 - $34

= $4.32

Direct labor hours per unit = Direct labor cost per unit ÷ Direct labor per hour cost

= $4.32 ÷ $28

= $0.15 hours per unit
