Jimbo Electronics sells navigation equipment used in airports. You have been working with the government of a western European c

ountry and have gotten them to agree to purchase this equipment for all airports in that country. The value of the contract is over $10 Million US dollars. In your last meeting with the government official responsible for signing the contract, you discover that this official is demanding that you paid him a $5,000 dollars "finders fees" for his assistance. Further, he said you are to build this into the the contract price so that there would be no cost to Jimbo. When you indicated that you would not do this, the official said the deal was off. Further, the official said and you have confirmed that such arrangements are considered "normal" in this country.

In this text, we learn about the behaviour of the government official responsible for signing the contract. The official appears to be demanding money known as a "finder's fee." However, this was not part of the official agreement, and appears unethical to you. The official justifies it by saying that it is common place in his country. These actions would be considered both ilegal (because they go against the law) and unethical (because they do not follow the values that society accepts as fair). Some executives might think that reacting in this way can cause American corporations to suffer a competitive disadvantage. However, I disagree. While in some cases this might mean that American corporations cannot compete with other, more corrupt corporations, following the law is likely to lead to peace and stability, which ultimately benefits corporations.

What is the most likely effect of the development of XBOX with DVD capabilities on the DVD player industry? a. ​decreased price
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": ​Increased price elasticity of demand for the DVD player industry because XBOX are substitutes.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand reflects the changes in quantity demanded for a good or service as a result of changes in price. It is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. If the result is equal to or greater than one (1) the demand is elastic.<em> It means a minimum change in price has a major impact on the quantity demanded volume. </em>

Thus, <em>if XBOX implements DVD features, DVD players will face an increase in their price elasticity of demand because changing DVD players' prices could change their quantity demanded by far because consumers will prefer purchasing an XBOX which is a substitute.</em>

Ahmed, a lawyer, sold his car to Carlos. Has an implied warranty of merchantability been created by this transaction? No, becaus
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

A.  No, because Ahmed is not a merchant.

Explanation:

Implied warranty of merchantability is a law in contract which states that when there is a transaction between a seller (the merchant), and a buyer, there is an unwritten guarantee from the seller, that the product meets up to the ordinary standards of care. This means that the goods must be fit to do what the merchant says it will do.  Therefore, if the seller finds it defective, he could return it to the seller. and if the seller refuses to make a change, a legal case could be established. The merchant by law is a wholesaler or retailer, who sells goods in which he has expertise or special skills.

Ahmed in the question could be argued in court to not be a merchant of cars and as such, has no expertise with which he can make a guarantee for the car being sold to Carlos.
