Answer:

C. Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.

Explanation:

Mary buys a lottery ticket and promises to buy her friend Sharon a new pair of shoes if she checks the lottery results while Mary is away.

Sharon agrees to do so, provided she has the time for it.

If Sharon fails to check the results and Mary wins the lottery,  then it would be true of the contract between Mary and Sharon that Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.

The reason is Mary's promise is based on the condition that Sharon checks the result, Sharon's promise is based on the condition that 'if she has the time for it.'

The condition was not met by Sharon hence she cannot claim a breach of contract because she did not check the results, similarly, Mary cannot sue Sharon because sharon made it clear that she will only check If she has the time.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Setup time = 2.5 min. per order

Process capacity = 1.09 units/minute

Utilization = 7.5 minutes

Explanation:

The time to cook just one order = 3 minutes

Cooking two orders in a batch = 3.5 minutes

cooking three orders = 4 minutes

bagging and accepting payments = 0.80 minutes

b) Process capacity:

Production = Setup time + ( Processing time * Batch size )

= 2.5 + (0.5 * 6)

= 5.5 minutes

Process capacity = Batch size / Production

= 6 / 5.5

= 1.09 units/minute

c) Utilization:

Batch size = 10

Production = Setup time + (Processing time * Batch size)

= 2.5 + (0.5 * 10)

= 7.5 minutes

Suppose that the price index in 1999 was 170 and your salary was $44,000. Suppose in 2016 the consumer price index will be 290.
STatiana [176]

Answer:

$75,240

Explanation:

Given that,

Consumer price index in 1999 = 170

Salary in 1999 = $44,000

Consumer price index in 2016 = 290

Therefore, the required salary is calculated as follows:

= Salary in 1999 × (Consumer price index in 2016 ÷ Consumer price index in 1999)

= $44,000 × (290 ÷ 170)

= $44,000 × 1.71

= $75,240

Hence, the amount of salary have to earn in 2016 in order to equal your 1999 real income is $75,240.

In what circumstances is it ethical for public speakers to use emotional appeals when speaking to persuade? Are there any kinds
Soloha48 [4]

Answer and explanation:

Emotional appeals are ethically valid in persuasive speeches when the speaker wants to emphasize a specific matter that is relevant for the audience to understand. By showing anger, pity or fear the speaker tries to put into the audience's shoes but immediately after that exposes the solution to the possible problem.

However, there might be cases when emotional appeals could be taken too personal which turns the speech subjective. The speaker must avoid getting to that point otherwise the audience will be unlikely to identify themselves with what the speaker is trying to expose.
