Answer:

Probability, P(n) = 3/8

Explanation:  Let standard delivery be S and express delivery be E.

I) When the parcels were sent:

S(n) = 75/100 and E(n) = 25/100

II) When the parcels arrived:

S(n)← = 80/100 and E(n)← = 95/100

The probability a record of a parcel delivery is chosen, P(n) = S(n)*E(n) + E(n)*S(n) = 75/100*25/100 + 25/100*75/100

P(n) = 3/16 + 3/16 = 6/16

∴ P(n) = 3/8

Zanzabum

Answer and Explanation:

In an action based on strict liability, a plaintiff must show that

(1) a product was defective,

(2) the defendant was in the business of distributing the product,

(3) the product was unreasonably dangerous due to the defect,

(4) the plaintiff suffered harm,

(5) the defect was the proximate cause of the harm, and

(6) the goods were not substantially changed from the time they were sold.

A plaintiff does not have to show that there was a failure to exercise due care, and this distinguishes an action based on strict liability from an action based on negligence, which requires proof of a lack of due care. If Bob establishes his case, the court in this problem is most likely to rule in his favor, because the manufacturer is strictly liable in this case. Strict liability allows a plaintiff to recover damages for injuries resulting from product defects without proof of fault.

Suppose an economy produces only burgers and bags of fries. In 2010, 4000 burgers are sold at $3 each and 6000 bags of fires are
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Nominal GDP:

= (No. of burgers sold × Selling price of each) + (No. of fries sold × Selling price of each)

= (4000 × 3) + (6000 × 1.5)

= 12,000 + 9,000

= $21,000

Real GDP (in 2008 prices)

= (No. of burgers sold × Selling price of each) + (No. of fries sold × Selling price of each)

= (4,000 × $2.50) + (6000 × $2)

= 10,000 + 12,000

= $22,000

GDP deflator:

= (Nominal GDP ÷ Real GDP) × 100

=  (21000 ÷ 22000) × 100

= 95.45

Accounts receivable written-off as uncollectible during the year amounted to $12,600. The accounts receivable balance at the beg
elena55 [62]

Answer:

$72,600

Explanation:

Ending balance of the account receivable can be calculated by adding credit sales in beginning balance and deducting any account receivable written-off.

As we have the ending balance of account receivable, we need to calculate credit sales by following formula:

Account receivable Ending Balance = Account receivable Beginning Balance + Credit Sales - Bad Debt - Ending Balance

$320,000 = $260,000 + Credit Sales - $12,600

$320,000 = $247,400 + Credit Sales

Credit Sales = $320,000 - $247,400 = $72,600

Selma owns a roofing business. She enjoys being her own boss, but her satisfaction comes at a price. Her days are filled with or
Basile [38]

Answer:

D. Sole proprietorship.

Explanation:

We know it's definitely is a sole proprietorship because of 'unlimited personal liability' which is a key characteristic.

Selma's business is not a joint venture because she is the only person who invested and runs the business whereas a joint venture is created by two or more entities or 'shared ownership'

Nor is it a corporation for this is an 'organization' owned and manned by many people but is regarded as a single entity. Neither is her business an s corporation because that just the same as a corporation but just with different tax regulations.
