Answer:
The options are
A. be held liable for Earline's injuries because a bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee was created
B.be held liable for Earline's injuries if it knew of the flaw in the drilling machine when it rented it to Earline, but failed to warn her of the defect
C.not be held liable for Earline's injuries because both Quatero and Earline share mutual benefits from the bailment

The drilling machine having a fault and Quatero Rental Corp. being aware of it and not telling Earline about it means the company is at fault and will be held liable for any form of injury or death it poses. This is because it’s their responsibility to ensure goods and services being rendered are safe for use and consumption and it applies to all companies.
Pat can either drive to work, which takes half an hour and uses $1.50 worth of gas, or take the bus, which takes an hour and costs $1.00. How should Pat get to work?
Answer:
pat should drive if saving half an hour is worth $0.50 or more
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the additional cost generated by producing an additional unit of output.
Marginal cost of taking the bus = 1 / 2 = 0.50
Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good
Marginal utility per good = marginal utility / price of the good
Pat should take the action that would yield him the highest utility given the marginal cost
So,pat should drive if saving half an hour is worth $0.50 or more

You must have known the rules for debit and credit. As we know In case of personal account , Debit : The receiver , We have sansee stores as the receiver so we placed it in debit side. Remember: When the question says that the cash is payed through cheque , you should always consider cheque as a bank. Now , In the case of personal account , Credit : The giver. Who's the giver? Of course , bank! So , we placed it in credit side. Now , In case of nominal account , Credit : the incomes or gains . The question says we received the discount so obviously it's not expenses. So, We placed discount received in credit side. You must have studied that Every debit should have equal credit. And we're done!- Hope this helps!

when a company following a differentiation strategy ensures that the higher price it charges for its higher quality is not priced too far about the price of competition, the company is using the process of
Answer:
cost proximity.
Explanation:
Cost proximity is a strategy that some organizations can follow to conquer the market. The strategy consists of offering differentiated products with more added benefits than competitors that use a mass product strategy, but without the price of their differentiated product being much higher than those of competitors. With this, the company is able to reach more consumers who perceive greater added benefit from purchasing a differentiated product at a price not much higher than a standard product.

The ABC Company had its highest level of production in May when they produced 4,000 units at a total cost of $110,000 and its lowest level of production in November when they produced 2,500 units at a total cost of $87,500. Using the high-low method, the estimated fixed costs are $ .
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the fixed cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (110,000 - 87,500) / (4,000 - 2,500)
Variable cost per unit= $15
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 110,000 - (15*4,000)
Fixed costs= $50,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 87,500 - (2,500*15)
Fixed costs= $50,000

Andrew found a stone in his yard and took it to Brad, a jeweler, for evaluation. Although Brad knew what the stone was, he told Andrew that he wasn't sure as to the nature of the stone, but that he thought it was a saphire. Brad then offered to buy the stone for $50 and Andrew agreed. Later Andrew found out the stone was an uncut blue diamond worth about $10,000. The sale:
Answer: c. can be voided based upon fraud in the inducement .
Explanation:
Brad knew exactly what kind of stone it was that Andrew had and yet proceeded to lie about it in order to induce a sale at a much lower price than the actual worth of the jewel .
The contract is therefore voidable because the Brad committed fraud by lying and obtaining the diamond at $50 under false pretenses. Andrew should therefore drag him to the Courts of law to face justice.
Sun Petroleum Corp. recently moved its operations from Galveston, Texas, to Somalia. The decision to move was the result of new federal regulations regarding clean air standards that all petroleum corporations are subjected to. A critic of globalization would say this example demonstrates what concern
Answer:
Facilities in advanced nations are moving to less developed countries that have lower environmental regulations.
Explanation:
The move from Texas to Somalia seem to be one which aimed at allowing the company to operate under less strict regulations especially legislations regarding environmental pollution and degradation owing to ozone layer depletion and climate change resulting from high carbon emission. Petroleum processing generates a lot of carbon and strict federal regulations have been established in other to control emission in most developed countries such as Texas where Sum petroleum operates. Therefore Sun petroleum's move to Somalia will be seen as one which is aided by the company's desire to operate under less strict environmental guidelines.

Bonita Manufacturing uses a flexible budget. It has the following budgeted manufacturing costs for 24700 pairs of shoes: Fixed Manufacturing Costs, $12300 and Variable Manufacturing Costs, $14.00 per pair of shoes. If Bonita Manufacturing makes 20900 pairs of shoes this month, what are the total budgeted manufacturing costs for the month
Answer:
the total budgeted manufacturing cost is $292,600
