Answer:

Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury.

Explanation:

The above question is incomplete as there are several answer options which are listed below;

• Jill can hold the manufacturer liable for her injury as long as Lexi was in the room when she got

• Jill can hold the manufacturer liable for her injury

• Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury

• Lexi can hold the manufacturer liable for Jill's injury.

The above answer - Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury, is true according to the rule of privity of contract. The rule states that a person who is not a party to a contract does not have right to sue or be sued and to enforce the obligations arising from the contract, unlike a person who is a party to the contract.

With regards to the above scenario, Lexi, who buys a food processor is the party to the contract here, hence can sue and be sued in case of any injury suffered by her, however, Jill whom food processor was loaned to, is the third party here, hence not covered by the rule of privity of contract.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold ever
Georgia [21]

Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5).  However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5  to $2.  This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone.   This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit.  Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.
