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.

Data Table

Month July August September The third quarter

Flour budget (pound) 938 pounds 1,108 pounds 996 pounds 3,042 pounds

Flour budget (USD) $2,345 $2,770 $2,490 $7,605

Explanation:

Flour needs to produces organic bread:

In July = 1,500 x 1/2 = 750 pounds

In August = 1,880 x 1/2 = 940 pounds

In September = 1,680 x 1/2 = 840 pounds  

In October = 1,560 x 1/2 = 780 pounds

Flour needs on hand at the end of:

July = 940 x 20% = 188 pounds

August = 840 x 20% = 168 pounds

September = 780 x 20% = 156 pounds

Total flour needs:

In July = 750 + 188 = 938 pounds

In August = 940 + 168 = 1,108 pounds

In September = 840 + 156 = 996 pounds  

In the third quarter = 3,042 pounds

The bakery pays $2.50 per pound of the organic flour used in its loaves.

In July = 938 pounds x $2.50 = $2,345

In August = 1,108 pounds $2.50 = $2,770

In September = 996 pounds  $2.50 = $2,490

In the third quarter = $7,605

Ariel wants to compare the salaries for positions she was offered at two companies. What should she consider in this process?
german

Answer:

  • <em>She should research the cost of living of different locations to compare against the offered salaries.  </em>
  • <em>She should research the benefits included in each offer. </em>
  • <em>She should research the average salary of similar positions to see if the offers are fair. </em>

Explanation:

  • Remember, the cost living at the different locations is good basis to determine how much the actual value of he salary will be worth. For instance if location A pays her $5000 a month and her living expenses from the location takes about $4500, while location B pays her $3500 a month with a living expense of $1000, then she rather goes for location B she has more extra income.

  • Secondly, the benefits included in salaries is also to be considered. Does it includes medical insurance, transport allowance etc.?

  • Third the average industry pay level would also help Ariel know whether to accept any of the offers or not.
