With his parents' permission, David, a ten-year-old, purchased a plastic snow sled from Kmart. He went sledding, lost control, h

it a tree, and was injured. David's parents filed a negligence lawsuit in a state court against Kmart, alleging that the store should not have sold this type of sled because it was difficult to steer and had no brakes, making it unreasonably dangerous. Kmart contended that sledding is an inherently dangerous activity and that David assumed the risks involved when he went sledding. The court probably found that Kmart was:

Answer:

The Kmart was held by the court not liable because David assumed the risks of sledding.

Explanation:

Negligent actions are those actions that come under the rubric of tort actions. To prove negligent actions against a person or a company, the plaintiff is required to prove four things in court– duty, breach, causation, and damages.

In the given case, the court will not be held Kmart liable because David (the consumer) was aware of the risks involved in the sledding. Therefore, the case of negligent actions is not applicable for Kmart.

Brut [27]

Answer: Variable ... Fixed

Explanation:

In the short run, Variable Inputs or costs are known as those which can be changed and their quantities can be varied. In this scenario, the employees that Cho's uses can be varied and so are the Variable Inputs.

Similarly, those costs that cann ot be changed or varied in the short run are rightly known as Fixed Inputs. Cho's Kitchen cannot take more than 3 ovens and also she has already signed a lease for them. These costs cannot be changed and so make the oven a Fixed Input.

It is worthy of note that in the long term, all Costs are considered Variable.

Suppose the price of gasoline decreases from $4.20 to $2.00, and in response quantity demanded increases from 10600 to 11200. Us
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.
