Answer and Explanation:

In an action based on strict liability, a plaintiff must show that

(1) a product was defective,

(2) the defendant was in the business of distributing the product,

(3) the product was unreasonably dangerous due to the defect,

(4) the plaintiff suffered harm,

(5) the defect was the proximate cause of the harm, and

(6) the goods were not substantially changed from the time they were sold.

A plaintiff does not have to show that there was a failure to exercise due care, and this distinguishes an action based on strict liability from an action based on negligence, which requires proof of a lack of due care. If Bob establishes his case, the court in this problem is most likely to rule in his favor, because the manufacturer is strictly liable in this case. Strict liability allows a plaintiff to recover damages for injuries resulting from product defects without proof of fault.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

That needs to be ordered.

In the long run, a monopolistically competitive firm will earn: (A) normal profits because economic profits will attract new fir
enot [183]

Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: Normal profits because economic profits will attract new firms and there are no entry restrictions.

In a monopolistically competitive market, firms will earn an economic profit in the short run, so new firms attracted with these profits and decided to enter into the market in the long run.

There is no barriers on entry and exit of the firms in the monopolistically competitive market. When new firms enters into the market, as a result supply of differentiated products increases.

This causes the firm's market demand curve to shift leftwards. It will continue shifting to the left in the firm market demand curve till the point where it is nearly tangent to the average total cost curve.

At this point, firms earns zero normal profit and can earn normal profits in the long run same as a perfectly competitive firm.
