Answer:

A. incentives

Explanation:

An incentive is a motivator to do something. Traditionally incentive is extrinsic, that is there is a reward given when an achievement is made. This is the rational for bonuses on the job. Where an employee is compensated for achieving a milestone at work.

Ultrinsic.com is using incentive of a cash reward for those that get As as a motivator for the students. Students pay an entry fee of $70 and if one student gets an A he will get the whole pool of funds. If more than one person gets an A they will share the money in the pool.

More students will be motivated to get As.

a newspaper, prints Clark’s picture of Lana in his newspaper as a lead to an article concerning the negligence of children. The
den301095 [7]

COMPLETE PROBLEM

Lana, a ten-year-old child, is run over by a car negligently driven by Mitchell. Lana, at the time of the accident, was acting reasonably and without negligence. Clark, a newspaper reporter, photographs Lana while she is lying in the street in great pain. Two years later, Perry, the publisher of a newspaper, prints Clark's picture of Lana in his newspaper as a lead to an article concerning the negligence of children. The caption under the picture reads: "They ask to be killed." Lana, who has recovered from the accident, brings suit against Clark and Perry. What result? Explain.

Explanation:

Judgement for Lana against Perry but not against Clark. The facts make out a case against Perry for the tort of invasion of privacy in particular placing another in a false light (INVASION OF PRIVACY:FALSE LIGHT). Section 652E of the restatement imposes liability for publicity which places another in a false light. It is unlikely that Perry could utilize the first amendment as a defense because Lana was neither a public official nor a public figure. Even if that defense were available, it is forfeited if Perry acted with "malice", which appears to be the case here because Perry acted in reckless disregard of the truth. Clark did not commit the tort of intrusion because he photographed an event that occurred in public.

Outdoor Company is located in Kirkland, Washington, where the city and the state have minimum wage laws. Outdoor pays its starti
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: the highest of the minimum wages.

Explanation:

The company will have the pay the minimum wage that is the highest because they are under the authority of all three governments and paying the highest minimum wage would ensure that they automatically follow the minimum wages set by the other two authorities.

For instance; the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, the state minimum wage is $10 per hour and the city minimum is $12 per hour. When the company pays $12 an hour, they would be adhering to the city minimum and automatically adhering to the Federal and State minimums as well.
