Answer: D. liable in strict liability based on a manufacturing defect theory.

Explanation: The company can be held liable based on manufacturing defect theory, if it is proved that it was because of a manufacturing defect on that particular toaster that lead to the dead of the boy.

Since the woman's son was electrocuted by the toaster for no apparent reason the company will be held liable for the dead of the boy.

Talja [164]

Answer:

r = 0.080528395 = 8.05%

Winner's Prize at 2044:  $ 15,215,114.02

Explanation:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 160

Amount 1,610,000

time: 2015 - 1896 = 119

160 \: (1+ r)^{119} = 1,610,000\\ r = \sqrt[119]{1,610,000 / 160} -1

r = 0.080528395

If the same rate for the winner's prize is being keep by 2044 the winner will get:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 1,610,000.00

time 29.00 (2044 - 2015)

rate 0.08053

1610000 \: (1+ 0.0805283946683808)^{29} = Amount

Amount 15,215,114.02

Sophie [7]

Answer:

19.82%

Explanation:

Midpoint method = Q2 - Q1 / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2] / P2 - P1 / [(P2+P1) / 2]

3.33 = 2000 - 1000 / [(2000 + 1000) / 2] / P2 - P1 / [(P2+P1)/2]

3.33 = 0.66 / (P2 - P1) / [(P2+P1)/2]

By cross multiplying we have

0.66 = 3.33 [ (P2 - P1) / [(P2+P1)/2]

divide both sides by 3.33

19.82% = The mid point change in price.
