k that is included. He reads the book, which contains a warning not to use the mower over gravel or stones or grassy areas mixed with rock or stone.

He sues the manufacturer for putting out a defective product unreasonably dangerous to the consumer. What defense may give the manufacturer the best chance of having the case dis-missed?

Answer:

B. Contributory negligence

Explanation:

            Contributory negligence may be defined as a defense to the tort claim that is based on the negligence of the plaintiff in some law jurisdiction. And if contributory negligence is available defense completely  bars the person who files the suit from any recovery if the plaintiff contributes to their own injury and harm from any negligence.

           In the context, a person buys a lawn mover form a store. The lawn mover contains a instruction book where it was written that the lawn mover should not be moved over any stones or gravels or areas mixed with grass and stones.

           The consumer though remembers the warning but he moves the lawn mover over land filled with loose stones and rocks. Unfortunately, a rock flies and hits him on his face resulting in serious damage of his face. And so the consumer sues the manufacturer for selling a defective lawn mover.

           But the court will dis-miss the case as it was a case of contributory negligence of the consumer as the manufacturer warned the consumer with a written instruction not to use the product over areas covered with stones and rocks. Thus the defense that will give the manufacturer the best chance of having dismissing the case by the court is the Contributory negligence of the consumer.

Timothy Carter went out to eat with his girlfriend at a fancy restaurant. When he tried to pay the bill with his MasterCard cred
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Ans. the cost of the meal was $130.4

Explanation:

Hi, ok, the credit card is charging a 21% APR this means that the cost is 0.21/12 = 0.0175 monthly and the cash advance is 3%, so the associated fees to this $125 purchase are:

Interest fee

$125*0.0175= $2.19

Cash Advance fee

$125*0.03= $3.75

And the meal was $125, so the total cost of the meal was:

$125 + $2.19 + $3.75 = $130.94

Best of luck.

Productivity is expressed as:________ A. output plus input B. output minus input C. output times input D. output divided by inpu
Lynna [10]

Answer:

D. Output divided by input

Explanation:

Productivity refers to how factors of production such as rent , land, labor and capital are combined efficiently to produce certain output in an economy. It is usually measured as output ratio divided by input ratio.

In other words, productivity means output gotten as a result of inputs added or given. For example, if 10 oranges are used to produce 3 litres of orange juice, then the productivity is the 3 litres of orange juice. However, if same number of oranges is used to produce say 4 litres of orange juice, we can safely say that the person who produces 4 litres of orange juice is more productive.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The answer is c. identifies something that the product has that all the competitors lack.

Explanation:

"Positioning strategies" mean tactics and methods a company uses to "place" the product uniquely and in an unforgettable manner in the mind of the consumer/customer.

If an advertisement uses a positioning strategy, they focus on a particular aspect of its products or services.

The ad position itself is the central theme or message and acts as the "image" of the product!

By identifying an aspect that our product has and competitors lack, we carve out and high light a unique aspect of our product.
