Answer:

If Nathan's additional injuries were severe, then Sam is probably liable for negligence.

Explanation:

There is no law that forces someone to help another person in peril, you have the legal obligation to call for help (usually 911), but your obligation ends there. If you decide to help someone, then you are responsible for that person's well being and must exercise reasonable care. Even if you are not a properly trained rescuer, you have the obligation to not make the victim worse. If Nathan's health suffered due to Sm's negligence, then Sam is liable to him.

This is a reason why you have to think twice before assisting someone in peril since once you decide to be a rescuer, then you are liable for any bad consequences that may occur. For example, if you are trying to help someone out of a car after an accident, an that person's leg or arm is broken in the process, then you may be liable for it.

The least likely task to be done while the worksheets are grouped when you have a workbook that contains sales data for different regional sales representatives of a company, is to make sure that you ungrouped sheets if ever you want to perform a task on only one worksheet because if you forget to ungroup sheets you could potentially ruin several worksheets by overwriting data on all worksheets instead of just the active worksheet.

andriy [413]

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. automobile insurers
  2. life insurance companies
  3. a life insurance policy
  4. longer
  5. longer-term

Explanation:

When a company may need money in a short notice (like auto insurers), they will need to make liquid investments. That means that they can turn their investments into cash very rapidly. Since T-bills are traded all the time, they are very liquid investments, although they aren't very lucrative investments.

On the other hand, companies that know that they will not be needing a lot money promptly (life insurance), can afford to invest in projects with a longer life span that can be more profitable also. Usually liquid investments have smaller rates of return, while long term investments have higher rates of return.

Answer: John's Savings account balance declined by $50 and his Checking account balance increased by $50

Explanation:

The checking account statement shows that there was an online funds transfer from Savings into the checking account.

The checking account will therefore increase by $50 because money was transferred into it and therefore added to its balance. The savings account on the other hand, will reduce by the same amount because it transferred the money into another account.
