50 for the coverage they need. Their insurance company offers a discount of 8 percent if they install dead-bolt locks on all exterior doors.

Answer:

The answers are:

A) 4.23 years

B) 1.08 years

C) Off course I would recommend Dave and Ellen to install these safety items, not only because they save money but also because they are very useful.

Explanation:

The cost of the deadlocks including installation is $110 for each exterior door ($220 total). The cost for installing smoke detectors is $24 for each floor ($48 total).

The discount that Dave and Ellen can get is

  • $52 per year for installing the deadlocks
  • $26 per year for installing the smoke detectors

A) It will take Dave and Ellen 4.23 years ($220/$52) to recover the money spent on the deadlocks.

B) It will take Dave and Ellen 1.08 years ("26/$24) to recover the money spent on the smoke detectors.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

b. Horizontal merger.

Explanation:

Project Repat is merging with a company that produces similar products to its own markets them in similar markets as well, this is an example of a horizontal merger that results in increased synergies between the similar firms and a greater market share opportunity.

Vertical mergers are usually not in the same industry. They would either be with the suppliers of Project Repat or customers who retail Project Repat's products.

Conglomerate is an example of diversification and usually the merging firms have different operations.

There are no information of clashes of any sort within the two  merging companies so it is uncertain whether this is a hostile takeover.

Hope that helps.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

C) The court will apply the predominant-purpose test to determine whether the predominant purpose of the contract was the sale of goods in which case the UCC would apply.

Explanation:

From the case it is clear that the contract happens between Beau and the Manager of XYZ is of selling the carpet only. The service on the other hand, is not a department of UCC. The service contracts are department of common law whereas sales of goods law is applied to UCC or Uniform Commercial Code. So, except this option, all other options are false.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C. Proofreading

Explanation:

Option A is wrong. In an instant message, no one is trying to create a content outline as it is not a letter or assignment.

Option B is incorrect. An instant message can be sent to many people at a time. Therefore, maximizing the number of receivers is the main idea while writing an instant message.

Option D is also not correct. Acronyms are hard to understand. Writing acronyms in an instant message will be challenging for the receivers.

Option E cannot be the answer as an instant message can be sent anytime. Therefore, it can be increased.

<em>Option C</em> is correct because while writing an instant message, proofreading is a necessary stage. If anything misspelled or miswritten, the explanation will change.
