Answer:

A.  No, because Ahmed is not a merchant.

Explanation:

Implied warranty of merchantability is a law in contract which states that when there is a transaction between a seller (the merchant), and a buyer, there is an unwritten guarantee from the seller, that the product meets up to the ordinary standards of care. This means that the goods must be fit to do what the merchant says it will do.  Therefore, if the seller finds it defective, he could return it to the seller. and if the seller refuses to make a change, a legal case could be established. The merchant by law is a wholesaler or retailer, who sells goods in which he has expertise or special skills.

Ahmed in the question could be argued in court to not be a merchant of cars and as such, has no expertise with which he can make a guarantee for the car being sold to Carlos.

= $1,980,000/$9,900,000 * 100

= 20%

Profit margin = Net Income/Sales * 100

= $1,980,000/$20,710,000 * 100

= 9.6%

Asset turnover = Sales/Total Assets

= $20,710,000/$9,900,000 = 2.1 times

Return on equity = Net Income/Total Equity * 100

= $1,980,000/$5,300,000 * 100

= 37.4%

12345 [234]

Answer:

Cheese is a complement for hamburgers. If the price of hamburgers rises, the quantity of hamburgers demanded will <em>fall</em>, which will lead to a <em>fall in the demand</em> for cheese, as cheese and hamburgers are complements to each other. A rise in price of a complementary good will lead to a fall in demand for the complementary good as well. Because of the change in <em>demand</em> for cheese the equilibrium quantity of cheese will <em>fall</em> and the equilibrium price for cheese will also <em>fall</em>, the demand for milk by cheese producers will <em>decline</em>, causing the equilibrium price of milk to <em>fall</em>. This means producers of butter face <em>lower</em> input prices and the supply of butter will <em>rise</em>. The resulting <em>decline</em> in the price of butter causes people to substitute <em>jam for butter</em>, so the demand for jam will <em>decline</em>.
