A housecleaning agency was given a key to a customer's house so that the agency could have its employees clean while the homeown

er was away. After a maid sent by the agency had finished and left the homeowner's house, she went back because she had forgotten her cigarettes. She neglected to lock the door when she left the second time because she was already late for the next job. When the homeowner returned after a few days away, she discovered that her house had been ransacked and several items of jewelry stolen. The front door was open, and there were no signs of forced entry.
If the homeowner brings an action against the agency that employed the maid, what is the likely result?
A. She will not prevail, because she is limited to claims for breach of contract based on her agreement with the agency.
B. She will not prevail, because the act of the burglar was an independent superseding cause of the homeowner's loss.
C. She will prevail, because the maid's failure to lock the door created the risk that someone might enter and take the homeowner's valuables.
D. She will prevail, because when the maid returned after having completed her work, she was technically a trespasser, making the agency vicariously liable for any damage she caused to the premises.

Answer:

C. She will prevail, because the maid's failure to lock the door created the risk that someone might enter and take the homeowner's valuables.

Explanation:

The owner of this house would win this case given that the the house cleaners negligence was what exposed her home to criminal activity. Such criminal acts can be foreseen. An open door increases the risk of theft. By not locking the door, the maid was negligent and she caused the theft to happen. This makes the agency liable for the maids negligence since they happen to be her employer

Tariffs and quotas are often imposed when a government is more responsive to __________ interests, and the benefits of those tra
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

producer; concentrated

Explanation:

Tariff and quotas are trade barriers that governments establish to protect national products. Tariffs are taxes imposed on imports and quotas are a limit on the quantity of a product that can be imported. These barriers are established when the government is willing to protect national producers when they are not able to compete with the low prices on the imported products. Also, the benefits of these restrictions are concentrated on the producers but its disadvantages affect all the consumers who have to buy products at a higher price. According to this, the answer is that tariffs and quotas are often imposed when a government is more responsive to producer interests, and the benefits of those trade restrictions are often concentrated.
