seropon [69]

Answer:

mutual mistake

Explanation:

A mutual mistake happens when all the parties involved in a contract (two or more) are mistaken or do not know the correct information about some specific material fact that is relevant to the contract. In this case, the contract can be rescinded because Harry believes that Ryan wants to buy his Cadillac, while Ryan believes Harry is selling his Porsche.

A store manager must decide how many rug cleaners to rent to customers. The manager estimates that the first would yield $200 a
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The store manager must decide to buy 3

Explanation:

Given that:

  • The first:  $200 a year
  • The second $150
  • The third $75,
  • The fourth $50
  • Interest rate is 12 percent
  • Investment: $500

As we know that the rate of return will be: Income / Investment

So the rate of return of:

  • The first:  $200 / $500 = 0.4 = 40%
  • The second $150 / $500 = 0,3 = 30%
  • The third $75 / $500 = 0.15 = 15%
  • The fourth $50 / $500 = 0.1 = 10%

Only three rug cleaners have the rate of return greater than the interest rate so the store manager must decide to buy 3
