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>

Things that the minister of sports could consider for sports to be a nation builder
svp [43]
I understand this question to mean "what can a minister of sports (presumably  in the US?) do so that sports serves a nation builder"

Sports can be a nation builder when it unites the nation, as when for example all the people cheer for one team. So the minister can for example support national teams.

Sport can also increase people's standard of life, so the minister can support local sport facilities - healthy people mean a healthy nation.

Also, it can be a common goal, such as when a nation organizes some championships, so he or she can apply to host the Olympics for example. <span />

Explain the equation for the income statement. What are the three major items reported on the income statement?
Sergio039 [100]

The equation for the income statement is Revenues - Cost of goods = Net income. The three major items reported on the income statement are net income, gross profits, and operating income.

The income statement is a statement of the profits and losses of a firm. It consists of three income statements. The Net income is derived by deducting the expenses of the firm from its revenues (Net income = Revenue - Expenses). It may also be calculated by adding the operating income with the non-operating items.

Gross profit is arrived at by subtracting the expenditure made on the products that were sold from the revenue of a firm. The Operating income is the result of subtracting the operating expenses from the gross profit.

Walters manufactures a specialty food product that can currently be sold for $21.20 per unit and has 19,200 units on hand. Alter
sdas [7]

Answer:

$37,760

Explanation:

The income for the current operation, without further processing, is given by:

I_1 = 19,200*\$21.20\\I_1=\$407,040

If the product is further processed at a cost of $11,200, the company would sell 11,200 units at $31,80 each and 5,200 at $19.20 each, for an income of:

I_2= 11,200*\$31.80+5,200*\$19.20-\$11,200\\I_2=\$444,800

Therefore, the incremental net income of processing further would be:

\Delta I=I_2-I_1=\$444,800-\$407,040\\\Delta I=\$37,760

The incremental net income would be $37,760.

loris [4]

Answer:

a. Physical appearance

Explanation:

The Physical appearance of a person is as a result of the genetic make up of the individual. This factor barely has an influence on an individual’s core belief system.

Religious background is a key element of individual’s core belief system as it forms the basis of one's belief about God, life, fate and destiny.

Family upbringing forms the basis of one's belief as the individual grows. The influence of the members of a family forms a part of the individual's core belief.

Life experiences as well forms a key part of our belief system and the same goes for personality.
