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>

Neko [114]

Answer: 402 years

Explanation:

Debt is $15,000,000,000,000

Payment per second $1,183

Time taken to pay off = 15,000,000,000,000/1,183

Seconds in a year = 60 secs * 60 mins * 24 hours * 365 days

= 31,536,000‬ secs

Time taken in years = 12,679,628,064/ 31,536,000

= 402 years

"An investor buys $10,000 of a "regulated" mutual fund investing solely in municipal securities. Which statement is TRUE regardi
kogti [31]

Answer: D. The investor has no tax liability on distributions received, and the investment company has no tax liability on retained income

Explanation:

Municipal Securities are exempt of Federal taxes and this is what makes them most attractive. An investor in a mutual fund which invests solely in municipal securities will therefore not have any tax liability because their returns would be based on securities that are federally tax exempt. The same goes for any income the Mutual fund intends to retain.
