Answer:

this situation can be classified as an duopoly

Explanation:

An duopoly is similar to a monopoly but instead of only supplier there are two suppliers that share total market power and control. Both companies also offer basically the same product or service. Competition exists between the companies but it is not significant, both companies decide to coexist. Customers are forced to choose between one company or the other.

In this case, there are only two taxi companies and the customers really don't care what company they use since they both offer similar services. None of the companies even bothers to offer a better service to try to gain a larger market share.

Countries are interconnected today as never before. From eating foods from different countries to singing along to songs perform
Nuetrik [128]
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings.  You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.

In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations.  However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.

I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in.  For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.

There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.

As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic.  We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.  

These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).

2. Abide by all copyright laws: When using electronic or printed materials from other sources, credit must be given to the owners of such materials to avoid lawsuits or accusations of piracy.

3. Keep conversations casual but professional: While, thoughts have to be communicated freely, they should however, not be overly casual. Professionalism must be maintained.

Lexi buys a food processor and uses it without any problems. She loans the processor to Jill, and Jill is injured when a part fl
Damm [24]

Answer:

Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury.

Explanation:

The above question is incomplete as there are several answer options which are listed below;

• Jill can hold the manufacturer liable for her injury as long as Lexi was in the room when she got

• Jill can hold the manufacturer liable for her injury

• Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury

• Lexi can hold the manufacturer liable for Jill's injury.

The above answer - Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury, is true according to the rule of privity of contract. The rule states that a person who is not a party to a contract does not have right to sue or be sued and to enforce the obligations arising from the contract, unlike a person who is a party to the contract.

With regards to the above scenario, Lexi, who buys a food processor is the party to the contract here, hence can sue and be sued in case of any injury suffered by her, however, Jill whom food processor was loaned to, is the third party here, hence not covered by the rule of privity of contract.
