Answer:

The correct answer is: Assumption of the risk.

Explanation:

If the risk inherent in a particular action that caused an injury is knowingly and voluntarily assumed, you cannot sue anyone to recover the damages. Suppose, for example, a situation in which he went to a friend's house and was warned about the use of the back door because the floor cover was seriously damaged and would not support a person's weight on it. If you have decided to ignore the warning and use the back door, the doctrine of risk taking will probably prevent the recovery of injuries sustained by a fall on that floor. The court will decide that you "assumed the risk" of such injury.

Match the careers to the consumer service industry to which they belong.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. Actor, writer, musician  : entertainment.

2. Dietician, optician  : health care.

3. Litigator, paralegal, attorney  : legal industry

Explanation:

Industries dedicated to consumer service are those whose product is directed directly to a consumer, and not to a company.

The product they offer is a service, and not a material good.

These industries will have professionals or people specialized in the subject who will be in charge of offering and selling this product.

That is what we see in the examples.

The health industry will offer services dedicated to health, therefore it will have professionals dedicated to this field.

The legal industry will have services dedicated to legal issues such as a lawyer, a litigator, etc.

And the entertainment industry will be dedicated to shows, this is where actors, musicians or writers come in.

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that hi
tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete because some important figures and points are missing in it. These figures and points are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is $100 and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is $110. If the price of a soft drink is $2 and the price of a slice of pizza is $3, is Charley maximizing his total benefits?

A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods.

B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater.

D. No, he should shift consumption toward pizza and away from soft drinks to maximize total benefits.'

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Under utility maximization theory, the condition for the utility or benefit maximization for two goods is as follows:

MBs / Ps = MBp / Pp ……………………………. (1)

Where:

MBs = Marginal benefit from an additional soft drink = $100

MBp = Marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza =$110

Ps = Price of a soft drink = $2

Pp = Price of a slice of pizza = $3

Subtitling the relevant values, we have:

MBs / Ps = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft drinks = $100 / $2 = 50

MBp / Pp = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft pizza = $110 / $3 = 36.67

This implies that 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67

The decision rule is that the limited money income should be spent by a consumer on the good which gives the higher marginal utility per dollar in order to maximize marginal benefit.

Since 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67 above, this implies that Charley is NOT maximizing his total benefits. To maximize his total benefits, Charley should consume more of soft drinks and less of pizza until the condition is consistent with equation (1).

Therefore, the correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
