Answer:

a. No. A state court will do a better job in this case because it exercises unlimited jurisdiction. Moreover, you can only bring your case to a federal court if the amount of your claim is up to $75,000 or the issue is exclusive to the federal court. This is not the case here.

b. Yes and No. We need some additional information about the accident location to help answer this question definitively.

c. No. You should not consider accepting the offered settlement. The jury award is meant to pay for your medical bills and also to help you recover financially as though the accident did not happen in the first place. Accepting any lesser amount after the judgment is rendered is in bad taste. The other party should have negotiated to settle out of court before the final judgment was rendered. But it did not. So, go with the jury award.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Missed work for 15 weeks

Total medical bills incurred = $50,000

Total lost wages incurred = $15,000

Jury award = $100,000 ($50,000 for medical, $15,000 for lost wages and $35,000 for punitive damages)

Settlement offer = $50,000

Horizontal channel conflicts occur when members of the same level of marketing channels have disputes or disagreements regarding the sales strategies for one or more product lines.

Six key principles of influence according to Dr. Robert Cialdini are 1) reciprocity 2) commitment and consistency 3) social proof 4) authority 5) liking and 6) scarcity. He proposed a seventh principle he called unity principle “the more we identify ourselves with others, the more we are influenced by these others.”

Of the above-mentioned principles, Sauteed uses the no. 1 – reciprocity. Reciprocity is returning a favor or giving back to others the form of a behavior, gift, or service that they have received first. In our example, Sauteed restaurant offers event passes to frequent customers (billed $3,000 during the current month). Sauteed believe that in doing so, there will be surprising difference to their business– like clients may recommend them or visit their place more often or more tips.

Product X-547 is one of the joint products in a joint manufacturing process. Management is considering whether to sell X-547 at

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

b. 1,2,3,4

Explanation:

Lets first understand what relevant cost is? Relevant cost is any cost that influences the decision of a decision maker. Therefore, the first four items are relevant in the decision of whether to sell the X-547 or to further process it.

Explanation for each item is as follows:

1- Selling price of X-547:

The selling price is relevant because it will help to determine the revenue generated from selling X-547 at the split off point and which could also be used for comparative purposes, if suppose the decision of further processing is chosen.

2- Variable cost of processing X-547 into Xylene:

The variable cost of processing X-547 is indeed relevant too, because at this stage management is not in a position to take a decision until they explore the possibilities coming out of processing X-547, therefore, in order to come to a decision making position the management will need to know the variable cost of processing X-547, making it relevant in the decision.

3- The avoidable fixed costs of processing X-547 into Xylene:

There is sometimes a fear (i.e fear of increase in step-fixed costs as a result of processing a product or fear of loss of control over costs) felt by the management when trying to process certain products for further development therefore those fixed costs which can be avoided during processing X-547 can also influence (i.e encourage) the decision of further processing X-547, making it relevant.

4- The selling price of Xylene:

The last but not the least, the selling price of Xylene. If the management finds that if X-547 is further processed into Xylene and it sells at a highly favorable/lucrative price, creating a huge margin for them then definitely they would be encouraged to taking the decision of further processing it.
