Answer:

C). Shannon's physician gives her some pain medication and tells her not to drive after she takes it, as the medication induces drowsiness. In spite of the doctor's warning, Shannon decides to drive to the store while on the medication. Owing to her lack of alertness, she fails to stop at a traffic light and crashes into another vehicle, causing a passenger in that vehicle to be injured.

Explanation:

Negligence is defined as the 'tort whereby a duty of reasonable or standard care as defined by law is breached, causing damage or any conduct short of .'

In the above situation, Shanon was aware of the after-effects of the medication she took as her physician instructs her to not drive because she may feel drowsy. Despite this warning, her decision to drive to the store reflects her negligence i.e. 'intentional action that falls below the legal standard for preventing unreasonable damage or harm.' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

(1 pt) The manager of a large apartment complex knows from experience that 90 units will be occupied if the rent is 420 dollars
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Monthly rent of $345 would maximize revenue

Explanation:

Revenue = Price * Quantity

Quantity depends on price. We need to work out the relationship between price and quantity (that is, the demand function)

When the rent is $420, quantity demanded is 90 units:

When P = 420 we have Q = 90

Let x be the change in price. For every 3 dollar increase (decrease) in price demanded quantity will decrease (increase) 1 unit:

P = 420 + x (a) we have Q = 90 - x/3 (b)

To find the relationship between P and Q we seek to eliminate x.

Multiply both sides of (b) with 3 we have: 3Q = 270 - x (b')

From (a) and (b') we have: P + 3Q = 420 + x + 270 - x

=> P = 690 - 3Q

Revenue R = P * Q = (690 - 3Q) * Q = 690Q - 3Q^2

To find maximum set derivative of R to 0:

dR = 690 - 6Q = 0

=> Q = 690/6 = 115

To lease 115 the price should be P = 690 - 3Q = 690 - 3*115 = 345

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration estimated as the expected value?

  • original cost $5,800 if job is finished in one month (15% probability)
  • bonus price for finishing 2 weeks earlier $5,800 x 1.25 = $7,250 (25% probability)
  • bonus price for finishing 1 week earlier $5,800 x 1.15 = $6,670 (60% probability)

expected transaction price = ($5,800 x 15%) + ($7,250 x 25%) + ($6,670 x 60%) = $6,684.50

b) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration as the most likely amount?

$6,670, since it has a 60% probability
