​ National Drilling Company ships its only pump to American Hydraulics Corporation, the manufacturer, for repair. National hires

Overland Transport, Inc., to take the pump to American Hydraulics and to return it to National as soon as the repair is complete. National is forced to suspend operations without a pump, but Overland does not know this. National expects to be without the pump for five days and to lose profits of $5,000. When the pump is not returned by the end of the fifth day, National rents a pump at a cost of $100 per day. Overland delays five more days before returning the pump. National files a suit against Overland, asking for compensatory, consequential, and punitive damages. Will National recover?

Answer:

The answer is: National will succeed in its claim for compensatory damages only (no consequential or punitive damages).

Daniel Franco, a free-lance gaming consultant and blogger, needed a new gaming system for his business. After some lengthy revie
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Issue: Will the court rule in support of Daniel’s argument that Nintendo breached the warranty based on reasonable expectation on the performance of an expensive system and statements made while selling the gaming system?

Rule:  There is a creation of express warranty when a seller makes a description of the statement quality, condition or performance of goods sold. This warranty is created by the statement of facts and if the seller uses words to designate the value of the supposed goods, it will only be considered as an opinion that does not create any express warranty.

The customer’s reasonable expectation of the existence of the gaming system based on the price leads to implied warranty. The goods sold should be logically fit for the general purpose for which it is sold. It should be of proper quality to satisfy the implied warranty of merchantability and the goods should fit the particular purpose for which the buyer will use the goods to satisfy the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

Analysis: Here, the argument of Daniel that Nintendo’s description of the gaming system as “most reliable”, and “durable” asserted that the quality and performance of the gaming system will not stay because these words create general statements that are made as part of sale or seller’s opinion about the goods. These words would be considered as puffery and do not create any express warranty. The higher price of the gaming system would create an implied warranty about the performance of the system, but the switch failed only after the warranty period. When the seller has expressly stated the warranty period as one year, any defects that occur after the warranty period will not breach the implied warranty.

Moreover, the gaming system was reasonably fit for Daniel’s business purpose and worked well during the warranty period. Hence Daniel’s arguments will not stay in front of the court.

Conclusion: The court will not rule in favor of Daniel and Daniel will not be able to recover against Nintendo because no breach of warranty had occurred.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

The central bank have various tools to apply expansionary policy and these tools are :

- Reserve ratio.

- Discount rate.

- Open market operations.

The open market operations include the buying and selling of government owned securities by central bank to impact the monetary base in the economy. In case of any recession, the central bank should purchase government securities to enhance the money supply. Because whenever they do any kind of open market purchase there would definitely be increase in money in the economy. That's why increment in money supply decrease the interest rate in economy.

Nominal interest rate is the cost of borrowing so if there is decrement in interest rate, there would be consumption and investment activities. these both are the component of aggregate demand so the aggregate demand will increase, and this increment in aggregate demand helps the economy to recover in the situation of recession.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

1. It is perfectly inelastic

Explanation:

Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of demand to price change.

  • Elastic Demand > 1 ; implies demand changes proportionately more than price change
  • Inelastic Demand < 1 ; implies demand changes proportionately less than price change
  • Perfectly Elastic Demand  = ∞ ; implies demand changes infinitely to price change, so the prices are constant
  • Perfectly Inelastic Demand = 0 ; implies demand doesn't respond to price change, so quantity demanded is constant

Given : Seth body builder needs 12oz protein packet to 'feed his muscles' depicts that it is a necessity good to him. Being a necessity good, it would be demanded by Seth irrespective of price.

So, the demand is perfectly inelastic.

Ms. Langley is 30 years old and has begun a retirement plan that permits he r to place monthly amounts of $400 into a retirement
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ms. Langley is 30 years old and has begun a retirement plan that permits her to place monthly amounts of $400 into a retirement vehicle, beginning one month from now, for 30 consecutive years.

When Ms. Langley reaches her retirement at age 60, she expects to live for 25 more years. The interest rate is 6%.

First, we need to calculate the amount of money that she will have at age 60, using the following formula.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit= 400

n= 30*12= 360

i= 0.06/12= 0.005

FV= {400[(1.005^360)-1]}/0.005= $401,806.02

Months= 25years*12= 300 months

Monthly= 401,806.02/300= $1,339.35
