Answer:

The minimum the company must charge for fire insurance policies in California​ subdivision is $2,252.

Explanation:

We have the chance of a wildfire destroying all the homes in the subdivision is: 1/41 or nearly 2.44%.

The minimum the company must charge for fire insurance and still maintain a positive expected value is calculated as:

The average cost to build a home in the subdivision * the chance of a wildfire destroying all the homes in the subdivision = 92,297 * 2.44% = $2,252.

So, the answer is $2,252.

Answer: Worsen; benefits

Explanation:

Specific Automakers is signing a long term contract with the union who are the representative of workers.

Real wages should increase by = 2%

Expected inflation = 5%

Nominal wage increase = 7%

Actual inflation = 6%

Actual inflation is greater than expected inflation, so this would worsen the union and it is beneficial for the automakers because now real wage increase is only:

= Nominal wage - Actual inflation rate

= 7% - 6%

= 1%

This is an example of re-distributive cost of inflation.

Tom sells his father's watch for $100 to sue. he later finds out from his father that the watch was an expensive rolex. tom want
Daniel [21]

The court would rule in sue's favor because courts seldom inquire into the adequacy of consideration.

In contracts, <em>consideration </em>just means the <em>exchange of things of value</em>. There has to be an exchange of things of value for there to be an enforceable contract, and in this case a watch was exchanged for money. It is rare for courts to rule on how much consideration is expected because people are generally free to set their own prices and not sell if the price is too low. That is not for a court to decide (in most cases).
