Answer: 44%

Explanation:

In probability, Independent event is simply an event that doesn't have anything to do with the occurrence or non-occurrence of another event.

From the question, we are informed that likelihood of Company A's stock price rising is 20%, and the likelihood of Company B's stock price rising is 30% and they are both independent.

Therefore, the probability that the stock price of at least one of the companies will rise goes thus:

P(at least one will rise) will be:

= 1 - P(both fall)

= 1 - [(1-0.20) × (1-0.30)]

= 1- (0.8 × 0.7)

= 1 - 0.56

= 0.44

= 44%

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

A. Jack cannot bring in the evidence of the oral agreement because of the Parol Evidence Rule.

Explanation:

The Parol Evidence rule is a rule in the Anglo-American common law that governs or determines the types or kinds of evidence that parties to a contract dispute can introduce when trying to determine the specific terms of a contract.

The rule also prevents introduction of further evidences by a party after a final written document or agreement has been reached. Things such as the content of oral discussions from earlier in the negotiation process, as evidence of a different intent as to the terms of the contract. The rule states that "extrinsic evidence is inadmissible to vary a written contract". The term " patrol" refers to "word of mouth" hence it is referred to oral pleadings in a court case.

Therefore from the question, Jack cannot bring in evidence of oral agreement into the court for evaluation because of Patrol Evidence Rule.

Answer:

You agree that test marketing could be helpful, but you point out that it may also reveal your ideas to your competitors.

Explanation:

In the give scenario the existing famous cheesy butter biscuits sales are going down. In an effort to increase the revenue of the business the head of product development has a theory that people want lighter options today, and she has recommended test marketing a lower-fat version of the biscuits at select locations in eight major cities across the United States.

This is an innovative solution to the problem and the head of product development should be encouraged to drive the test marketing.

However marketing a lower-fat version of the biscuits at select locations in eight major cities will expose the strategy to competitors. It will be better to conduct the test in a more controlled environment away from competitors.
