Paul, who runs a retail jewelry store, went with Jane, to whom he was engaged to be married, to a wholesale jewelry store. Paul

had no express, written agreement with Jane by which she was his agent. The wholesaler jeweler, Pam, asked Paul if Jane was buying for him. Paul did not want to embarrass Jane so he nodded in agreement. A few minutes later Paul whispered to Jane, outside the hearing of the wholesaler, that she should not make any purchases. Paul and Jane had a big disagreement over money that evening, and Jane broke off their engagement. The next day Jane went back to the wholesale jeweler and purchased a string of pearls for $2,000. Jane also purchased a fur jacket for $3,000 from a store, owned by Harry, that was next door to the jewelry store. She told Harry that Paul wanted a fur for a model in his store and that Paul would be glad to pay Harry for the jacket.Which of the following is the most likely result if Pam, the wholesaler jeweler, sues Paul for the price of the pearls?A. Pam will lose because it was her responsibility to ask Paul for written documentation that Jane was his agent.B. Pam will win only if she can show that through reasonable investigative efforts on her part Jane cannot be located.C. Pam will win assuming that she can prove that she reasonably believed, based on Paul's conduct, that Jane was acting as his agent.D. Pam will win only if she can show that Jane has no assets with which to pay for the necklace.E. Pam will lose unless it can be established that Jane at some time in the past had actual authority to act as Paul's agent.

Answer:

C) Pam will win assuming that she can prove that she reasonably believed, based on Paul's conduct, that Jane was acting as his agent.

Explanation:

A principal-agent relationship can be created through expressed agency, implied authority, apparent agency, and ratification.

When the principal leads a third party to believe that someone is acting as his/her agent, it is called apparent agency. Apparent agency is valid even if the principal has made no agreement with the "agent".

Therefore if Pam can prove that Paul lead her to believe that Jane was in fact working for him, then Pam will win the lawsuit.

(c) using okun's law, how more much would total output (gdp) have had to grow to create that many jobs?
ankoles [38]
<span>First and foremost, it should be understood that Okun's Law is an empirical observation. The law is founded in a perceived relationship between gdp and unemployment. In this sense, Okun's Law is an approximation and not rightly a Law derived from theory. There is some debate as to how much of a decrease in gdp actually occurs from an increase in unemployment, but two leading figures have offered estimations. Martin Prachowny gives the ratio 3:1, such that for every 1% increase in unemployment, a country's gdp drops by 3%. Ben Bernake more recently has offered a revised estimation, placing it closer to 2:1. Therefore, to find the inverse, a country's GDP would have to grow by 2-3% in order to reduce unemployment by 1%.</span>

Suppose that instead of paying per hour, a moving company offers a flat rate of $1,200 for movers plus a truck for an eight hour
kiruha [24]

Answer:

the first part of the question is missing, so I looked for a similar one (see attached image):

the cost of hiring a moving crew for 8 hours = $250 per hour x 8 hours = $2,000

the competing company offered you a deal worth $1,200

since you expect to use the moving crew during the whole 8 hours, you will gain = $2,000 - $1,200 = $800 in consumer surplus

Consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer (in this case you) are willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price of the good or service. Consumer should be willing to consumer a good or service as long as the consumer surplus is ≥ 0.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: 320 units

Explanation:

The equivalent units of production for transferred in units in the Filtering Department in August under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method goes thus:

Total units completed= 160 units + 290 units = 450 units

Beginning WIP = 160 units

Ending WIP = 30 units

Equivalent units of production:

= 450 + 30 - 160

= 480 - 160

= 320 units

ddd [48]

Answer:

Is it unethical to produce a consulting report that steers a client toward a specific outcome?

Yes.

Would she be ethically sound to urge reconsideration of such a decision? Yes.

Explanation:

Producing a biased consulting report aimed to drive the client to a specific decision is definitely unethical, even if this action is aimed to make sure they get the best option for their security needs.

The ethical course of action would be to provide an honest report and to ask for the client´s reconsideration in case the client prioritizes cost reduction over the project’s security.
