The owner of a small fleet of taxicabs had his cabs serviced by a national chain of auto service centers. One of his cabs went t

hrough a stop sign when its brakes failed without warning. The ensuing collision seriously injured the passenger. An investigation revealed that brake repairs had been made on the cab a week before, but the service center's mechanic had used the wrong parts and had made numerous errors in reassembling the brakes. If the passenger sues the cab company owner for her injuries, who should prevail

Answer:

if you are asking who should prevail in this scenario, its most likely the mechanics.

Explanation:

first off, its the fleet owner who has taken the cabs to that certain mechanic,

therefore he is responsible for the first move, but on the other hand, the mechanics shouldnt be working on cars like taxicabs in the first place with out a license if they DIDNT have one in this case. if they didnt then they would be the ones most likely to lose the case. and another reason, the mechanics knew what theyre doing but never hesitated on switching plans for other brake parts. so in this case, its the mechanics who should prevail.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

A) They would be indifferent, as Sally's income net of costs equals $25,000.

Explanation:

Sally's economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs

  • accounting profit = $12,000
  • opportunity costs = $25,000 - $15,000 in lost salaries + $2,000 (lost investment revenue) = $12,000

economic profit = $12,000 - $12,000 = $0

Since the economic profit is $0, Sally should be indifferent between running her own business or working for someone else.

Your younger sister needs $50 to buy a new bike. She has opened a lemonade stand to make the money she needs. She currently is c
AleksandrR [38]

The correct answer is: "I would recommend her not to increase the price, because with an elastic demand function this will cause a great decrease in the quantity demanded by consumers".

The demand function represents the quantity of a certain good or service that consumers are willing to purchase in the market at different price levels. The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded (ceteris paribus, hence, given that the rest remains equal). <u>Therefore, when the price charged decreases, the amount that consumers are willing to purchase increases. </u>

In turn, the elasticity of the demand function measures the sensitiveness of the quantity demanded by consumers when there is a certain price change. If the demand function is elastic it means that a price variation would generate an even larger variation (in the inverse direction of course!) in the quantity demanded. <u>This is the case of the lemonade stand therefore the girl should not increase prices because this will not help her to reach her objective quicke</u>r, as she would loss a greater proportion of units sold than the size of the price increase that would have allowed her to earn more per unit.

What program begins with a thirteen-week reintegration treatment program that attempts to improve offenders' basic socialization
oksian1 [2.3K]
This kind of program could be like rehabilitation such as may be provided in a half-way house for people coming out of jail which is designed to help the ex-prisoners to stop the use of illicit drugs, improve socialization skills and find meaningful employment so they can get back on their feet again. Where I live in the province of BC in Canada, it is law that a person can not be barred from employment if his offence was not related to his/her work.
