Answer:

C. strictly liable for Will's injuries

Explanation:

In law, Strict liability is a situation when defendant is required to be responsible to a certain situation, but can't be considered as guilty to any violation.

There are two points that need to be highlighted from the case above:

1.  Astor Manufacturing process has fulfilled all of its safety regulation for storing the dangerous product.

2. The dangerous product owned by Astor Manufacturing caused William's injury.

The regulations for hazard management is created by the government, and the leak is not caused by their negligence. It's caused by unexpected natural disaster.  This is why we can't say that Astor is guilty to any violation.

But still, the chemical that they created injured William. The court will most likely force Astor to be responsible for all the medical expenses incurred by william.

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because the expected return must be greater than the marginal cost of the capital which means that the Net Present Value must be positive.

Option B is correct because the increase in cost of debt or capital would increase the weighted average cost of capital. This is because weighted average cost of capital is directly proportional to cost of capital sources.

Option C is incorrect because its not the cost of one of the capital sources, actually it is the weighted average cost of capital which when starts increasing at a point due to increase in the level of financing is known as breaking point.

So the only statement that is correct is option B.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 45 million cases of cola were sold ever
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Tax on a case of cola is $4 per case.

The burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case.

The burden that falls on producers is $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Explanation:

Tax on a case of cola = Amount that consumers pay after the tax has been charged - Amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4 per case

Burden on consumers = Amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - Amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $5 = $1 per case

Burden on producers = Tax on a case of cola - Burden on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Comparing perfect first degree price discrimination to perfect competition one can conclude that: (i) Total social surplus is th
marta [7]

Answer:

C. Both (i) and (ii) are true

Explanation:

Under perfect price discrimination, consumer surplus doesn't exist since the supplier is selling the good or service at the maximum price that each consumer is willing to pay. This situation maximizes supplier surplus.

Under perfect competition, both supplier and consumer surplus exist.

Since total social surplus = supplier surplus + consumer surplus, total surplus should be the same in both situations.
