Answer:

b. Battery

Explanation:

Retired utility workers are suing their former employer for knowingly exposing them to asbestos without warning them of the health risks. The retired workers did not learn of the prolonged exposure until long after their retirement because the company engaged in a systematic cover up of the exposure. The retired workers' cause of action is for battery.

In Business law, battery can be defined as the act of intentionally causing physical harm to an individual or group of people through physical contacts.

Hence, in this case the employers knowingly or intentionally exposed the retired workers to asbestos without warning them of the health risks associated.

<em>Simply stated, a battery in criminal law is completed assault. </em>

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The correct option is (A)  more, greater

According to the risk return trade off, the risk is increased with the return that means if the returns are increased the risk is also increased and vice versa

So as per the given scenario, if there is more risk that investor wants to accept so the return should be more for the investment. This represents the direct relationship between the risk and return of the investment

hence, the correct option is (A)  more, greater

There are four consumers willing to pay the following amounts for haircuts, and there are four haircutting businesses with the f
Softa [21]

Based on efficiency, the businesses that should cut hair are the A and C; moreover, to meet the demand, each firm will need to offer at least two haircuts.

The supply of a product or the units of a product that is offered to potential customers should always meet the number of real customers. In the same way, the price of the product should meet the price customers are willing to pay.

In this context, the best is that only firm A and C cut hair, this is because their prices per cut ($25 and $30) match the consumers' willingness to pay this includes Lorenzo ($35), Gilberto ($50), Juanita ($40) and Neha ($25).

  • Firm A can cut Neha's and Lorenzo's hair
  • Firm C can cut Gilberto's and Juanita's hair

Moreover, this implies each firm needs to do at least 2 haircuts to cover all the possible customers.

In the case of firms B and D, the price per cut is high ($40 - $45). Based on this,  they should not cut hair as only a few customers can pay for this service, and this would be inefficient.

A survey of 50 retail stores revealed that the average price of a microwave was $375 with a sample standard deviation of $20. As
ohaa [14]

Answer:

True cost of the microwave is in 99% confidence interval: c. $323.40 to $426.60

Explanation:

Relevant data:

n=50\\\mu=375\\\sigma=20\\\alpha=0,001

As we want to know the 99% confidence interval, the significance level is:

(1-\alpha).100\%=99\%\\1-\alpha=0.99\\\alpha=0.01

We need to estimate a confidence interval by a two tailed normal bell. Then we have:

Z_{\alpha/2}=Z_{0.005}

The z-value for a probability of 0.005 in a normal standard distribution is 2.576

Confidence interval is given by;:

\=x\±Z_{\alpha/2}\sigma\\375\±Z_{\0.005}(20)\\375\±(2.58)(20)\\375\±51.60

375+51.60=426.60\\375-51.60=323.40

True cost of the microwave is in 99% confidence interval: c. $323.40 to $426.60
