Answer: For this statement.

Explanation:

People will generally offer their loyalties to those who pay them the highest or who pay them at all and companies will typically be loyal to their country of origin.

What this means is that trade negotiators who work for lobbyists of foreign firms will typically want to advance the interests of the foreign firms when negotiating trade deals for the U.S. government.

This presents a problem because the foreign companies might want to negotiate a deal that favors their own countries over the United States so if trade negotiators that are on their side are the ones negotiating for the United States, the U.S. might not get a good enough deal.

Imagine for instance, a person negotiating a trade deal for the U.S. with China but the person works for lobbyists of Huawei. It is reasonable to assume that the person would want to advance the interests of China on behalf of Huawei. Restricting such a person from negotiating for the U.S. reduces such a possibility.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Present Value = $290.20

Explanation:

The present value of a future payment can be calculated with the following formula:

PV = FV / (1 + i)N

Where i is the annual interest rate or discount rate, and t is the number of years until the payment will be received.

PV = Present Value = ?

FV = Payment = $4,400

i = 8.3% = 0.083

N = 20 - 6 = 14

PV = $4400 / (1 + 0.083)(20 - 6)

PV = $4400 / (1.083 * 14)

PV = $4400 / 15.162

PV = $290.1992

Present Value = $290.20 (Approximated)

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": for negligence because the harm was foreseeable.

Explanation:

In Law, foreseeability is a concept related to what the proximate causes could be after an event. The concept is helpful to determine the limit of liability according to the primary event that happened and the type and manner of harm. The harm caused by rescuers like firefighters and negligence of health care providers like doctors and nurses is considered foreseeable.

<em>In Emmy's case, the repeated thefts to the store where she works while having a nonfunctioning alarm (negligence) make the store owner liable for the injuries caused by a perpetrator who broke Emmy's leg during a robbery since that event was foreseeable.</em>
