Answer:

These are the options for the question:

  • Breach of duty.
  • Strict liability.
  • Recklessness.
  • Negligence per se

And this is the correct answer:

  • Negligence per se

Explanation:

Negligence per se consist in act that is neglectful, or unlawful, because it explicitely violates a statue or regulation.

In this case, the statue was the new state law that required smoke detectors to be maintained. The company that installed the smoke detector inside Jose's house clearly did not maintain the detector because otherwise, it would have gone off when the fire started, and Jose probably would not have died.

It is a negligence per se from the smoke detector company, and Jose's wife can lawfully sue them for that very reason.

B. product distribution franchise

Explanation:

In this type of franchise, the dealer (franchisee) is only granted the license to use just the logos and trademarks of the manufacturer (franchisor) but not the framework (system) for the establishment and operations of the business.

<em>Some examples of a product distribution franchise is Fords motors, Coca-Cola, mobile homes, Guiness etc. </em>

Fixed cost per unit is inversely proportional to the volume of units produced.
Levart [38]
True. Fixed cost per unit is inversely proportional to the volume of units produced.

Fixed costs per unit are inversely proportional to the volume produced because depending on the amount of units made, the amount spent on fixed costs is then based. Because they are related to one another, this statement is true.

Nezavi [6.7K]

This is the primary cost object:

A.) Specific DRG

Explanation:

The firms that handle healthcare are focused on the specific DRG required by the person and not necessarily the number of time healthcare was needed or how many repeated episodes it will involve.

This is because they are concerned with the cost.

There is a world's difference between the regular cost of a regular checkup and a serious ailment but booth are factored in pretty much the same by the healthcare system.
