Answer:

No they should not be held accountable.

Explanation:

When the actions were taken in the past it was legal, now that it is illegal the companies should not be held accountable. If they are it will set a bad precedent that will affect a lot of companies.

In the case of GE that did experiments on prisoners to test effects of irradiation however, even if criminal charges are not brought against them, they can face charges. What they did was wrong even if it was legal then.

V125BC [204]

The apt size of a hammer that can be used a s a jigsaw would be

16oz.

Explanation:

To see the size of hammer that would be necessary we must understand the size of the outlet box and how it would require the jig to be.

The average height of an outlet box is usually 12 inches from the floor and it is then attached to a secondary box above it which is 16 inches

So, to lift this piece by the jig we can see that the standard sized hammer of 16 ounces would be apt and would do the job completely well.

So this is the one that must be used.

Beatrice invests $1,410 in an account that pays 3 percent simple interest. How much more could she have earned over a 4-year per
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

$7.77

Explanation:

The answer would be the difference between compound and simple interest

Simple interest = principal x time x interest

$1,410 x 0.03 x 4 = $169.20

Compound interest = future value - present value

future value = Principal ( 1 + interest)^n

$1,410 ( 1.03)^4 = $1586.96

$1586.96 -$1,410 = $176.97

Difference = $176.97 - $169.20 = $7.77

Korvikt [17]

This is known as <u>"self-enhancement".</u>


Self-enhancement is when people tend to rate themselves better than expected, trust they have a superior than normal likelihood of progress, and ascribe their victories to individual inspiration or capacity while reprimanding the circumstance for their missteps.  

Self-enhancement is a kind of inspiration that attempts to influence individuals to like themselves and to keep up confidence. This thought process turns out to be particularly unmistakable in circumstances of risk, disappointment or hits to one's confidence. Self-improvement includes an inclination for positive over negative self-sees.
