Assume that there was no storm but that Pretty was driving the horse from Cape Town to meet Clive halfway between Cape Town and Johannesburg to deliver the horse to him. Along the drive from Cape Town Pretty stops along the way to meet some friends that he has not seen in some time. He joins them in a pub and has a few beers before proceeding on his journey., The beers make him tired and he falls asleep at the wheel. As a result, he has an accident which causes the death of the horse. Explain the legal position that now exists between the parties.

- Suppose a company is hiring graduates from Harvard and Yale and they want to hire people with very high predicted productivity. All they use to predict productivity is where they went to school and their GPA. There is no difference in average true ability between students at Harvard and Yale. However, while Yale GPAs are excellent predictors of performance at this company, Harvard GPAs are not. The company hires very few graduates and the cutoff for expected productivity is well above average. What will be true about the GPA cutoffs for the two schools? A. The cutoff for Harvard will be higher.B. The cutoff for Yale will be higher.C. The cutoffs will be the same.D. There is not enough information to answer this question.A risk-averse manager is considering a project that will cost £100. There is a 10 percent chance the project will generate revenues of £100, an 80 percent chance it will yield revenues of £50, and a 10 percent chance it will yield revenues of £500. Should the manager adopt the project? Explain. What will a risk-neutral and risk-loving manager do in the same situation?Within its first three years, the 2012 Chevy Volt fell in value 62 percent to $12,997 in 2015. And a 2012 Nissan Leaf fell in value 66 percent to $10,220. That’s −22 percent a year, whereas the typical gasoline car depreciates −24, −15, and −12 percent its first three years (51 percent) for a −17 percent average per year. Indeed, at the extreme, a Honda Accord is worth fully 64 percent after three years (−12 percent average per year). Clearly, the steep decline in gasoline prices in 2014 contributed to electric-powered vehicles depreciating recently much faster than gasoline powered vehicles. But hybrid-electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt and all-electric vehicles such as the Chevy Bolt face another problem as well? 1.) What life cycle cost concept begins raising concerns by year 5 with any electric vehicle (EV)? If that issue affected resale value at year 5, would that affect perceived value-in-use? How exactly?
- Portsmouth Bank has foreclosed on a home mortgage and is selling the house at auction. There are three bidders for the house, Emily, Anna, and Olga. Portsmouth Bank does not know the willingness to pay of these three bidders for the house, but on the basis of its previous experience, the bank believes that each of these bidders has a probability of 1/3 of valuing it at $600,000, a probability of 1/3 of valuing at $500,000, and a probability of 1/3 of valuing it at $200,000. Portsmouth Bank believes that these probabilities are independent among buyers. If Portsmouth Bank sells the house by means of a second- bidder, sealed- bid auction (Vicktey auction), what will be the bank's expected revenue from the sale?Suppose every driver faces a 1.5% probability of an automobile accident every year, and on an average an accident will cost each driver $10,000. Suppose there are two types of individuals: those with $50,000 and those with $6,000 in the bank. Assume that individuals with $6,000 in the bank declare bankruptcy if they get in an accident. In the bankruptcy, creditors receive only what individuals have in the bank. What is the expected loss from an accident for individuals with $6,000 in the bank if they don’t buy comprehensive insurance coverage? a. $50,000.00 b. $6,000.00 c. $150.00 d. $90.00Suppose that every driver faces a 3% probability of an automobile accident every year. An accident will, on average, cost each driver $6,000. Suppose there are two types of individuals: those with $30,000.00 in the bank and those with $1,200.00 in the bank. Assume that individuals with $1,200.00 in the bank declare bankruptcy if they get in an accident. In bankruptcy, creditors receive only what individuals have in the bank. Assume that both types of individuals are only slightly risk averse. In this scenario, the actuarially fair price of full insurance, in which all damages are paid by the insurance company, is . Assume that the price of insurance is set at the actuarially fair price. At this price, drivers with $1,200.00 in the bank likely buy insurance, and those with $30,000.00 in the bank likely buy insurance. (Hint: For each type of driver, compare the price of insurance to the expected cost without insurance.) Suppose a state law has been passed…
- The manager of XYZ Company is introducing a new product that will yield $1,000 in profits if the economy does not go into a recession. However, if a recession occurs, demand for the normal good will fall so sharply that the company will lose $4,000. If economists project that there is a 10 percent chance the economy will go into a recession, what are the expected profits to XYZ Company of introducing the new product? How risky is the introduction of the new product?Please answer both parts I do not understand, thank you :) Part A. Suppose that the rats on the campus of Hypothetical U are found to be carriers of a plague. Eradicating the rats has an estimated cost of $1,000,000 and is expected to reduce the probability a given student dies of the plague from 1/2,000 to zero. Suppose that there are 30,000 students on campus. Suppose further that the administration refuses to eradicate the rats due to the cost. From this information, we can estimate that the administration’s willingness to pay to save a student statistical life is less than $1,000,000 $33,333.3 $100,000 $66,666.7 Part B: Suppose a company offers a standard insurance contract with a premium (r) of $1,000 and a payout (q) of $8,000. Suppose that Rock earns a healthy state income of $50,000, a sick state income of $20,000, and has a 10% chance of becoming ill. From this information, you can determine that the expected profit for the insurance company is…When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway. Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Valerie places a value of $15,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Valerie simply bids $15,000/2=$7,500 and wins the piece of art. The expected price paid by Valerie, with no other bidders present, is $________.. Suppose the owner of the artwork manages to recruit another bidder, Antonio, to the auction. Antonio is known to value the art piece at $12,000. The expected price paid by Valerie, given the presence of the second bidder Antonio, is $_______. .
- Suppose that every driver faces a 1% probability of an automobile accident every year. An accident will, on average, cost each driver $15,000. Suppose there are two types of individuals: those with $90,000.00 in the bank and those with $3,000.00 in the bank. Assume that individuals with $3,000.00 in the bank declare bankruptcy if they get in an accident. In bankruptcy, creditors receive only what individuals have in the bank. Assume that both types of individuals are only slightly risk averse. In this scenario, the actuarially fair price of full insurance, in which all damages are paid by the insurance company, is . Assume that the price of insurance is set at the actuarially fair price. At this price, drivers with $3,000.00 in the bank likely buy insurance, and those with $90,000.00 in the bank likely buy insurance.

Suppose a state law has been passed…You are the company owner (UAE-based) and want to expand your business into the South Korean market. However, when foreign firms like you try to expand their operations into South Korea, the firms often encounter four types of risks: political risk, currency risk, cross-cultural risk, and commercial risk. Please provide at least two examples of each risk type that you may encounter and discuss how you (as the company owner) effectively reduce those risks5.
