Answer:

A. can be held liable for negligence because the store has a duty to warn its customers against foreseeable risk.

Explanation:

Negligence is a breach of act or certain level of behaviour, expected to be carried out by a reasoble person normal under the normal circumstances.

For a negligence claimed to stand in the court of law,

There must be an absence of duty of care by the defendant to the plaintiff.

There must be damages, losses, injury or harms suffered in the process by the plaintiff.

Causation. It must be proven that the plaintiff suffered loss, damage or injury as a result of defendant's negligence.

Answer: can be held liable for negligence, because the store has a duty to warn its customers against foreseeable risks.(A)

Explanation:

In a local grocery store, an ice cream fell out of the freezer, melt over the floor which resulted in a customer slipping on the melted ice cream and breaking his leg.

The store will be held responsible for negligence as it was the duty of the store to warn the customers against foreseeable risks. The store should have informed the customers that there were ice cream on the floor so that the customers can be cautious. Since the customers were not informed appropriately, the store should be liable.

The U.S. Treasury offers to sell you a bond for $715.00. No payments will be made until the bond matures 15 years from now, at w
nalin [4]

Answer:

interest rate is 2.25 %

Explanation:

given data

sell bond = $715

bond matures =  15 years

redeem =  $1,000

solution

we apply here formula that is

amount = principal × (1+r)^{t}    ................1

here put value and we get

1000 = 715  × (1+r)^{15}

(1+r)^{15} = \frac{1000}{715}

solve it we get

r = 0.022617

so rate is 2.25 %

g Which of the following factors would be most likely to lead to an increase in interest rates in the economy? a. The Federal Re
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

An increase in interest rate can be because of an increase in demand for loanable funds or decrease in the supply of loanable funds.

Suppose most businesses decide t modernize and install new equipment. For this, they need to invest more. This will cause an increase in the demand for loanable funds. This increase in demand for loanable funds will be represented by a rightward shift in the demand curve.

This rightward shift will cause the interest rate to increase.

Consider your current company, or a company that you have formerly worked for, and describe and critique the budgeting processes
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

I currently work for a company that provides services to other businesses (B2B), and we work on a yearly contract base. Since it's a B2B we don't have a lot of customers, they are only 11, but each customer is very important to us.

The sales process and contracts for the next year are usually finished by November and at that time we must prepare a cost budget. The main problem we are currently facing is that we use some imported goods and since many tariffs have been increasing, there is a lot of uncertainty about future prices.

When you import goods and use the FOB destination, the seller is responsible for delivering the goods up to a port of entry, but we are responsible for the paperwork and applicable tariffs. Since tariffs increase during a few months and then decrease, and then increase again depending on the president's mood, our budget has a large percentage of "just in case".

Besides that problem with imports, our company also signs yearly contracts with most of the employees depending on the number of contracts and workers needed. We are very good at estimating overhead expenses, since experience is a great teacher in our specific case.

If we didn't have the problem with uncontrollable external factors (tariffs), prior jobs help us to determine budgets that are usually quite exact, our variance (either + or -) is usually less than 3%.
