Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Deceptive advertising refers to the advertisement which misleads the consumer to buy with an expectation for the product to be genuine in accordance with the advertisement.

It occurs when the seller performs any of the following acts: (1) The seller does not portray the advertised product, (2) stocks’ inadequate quantity. In the above case, when the person LS reached the dealer to purchase an advertised scooter, the dealer remarked it to be sold out and offered a higher model instead of the model advertised. Therefore, the dealer was involved in deceptive advertising.

- Robo-Advice for MillennialsYour investment firm has been working hard to develop a robo-adviser service that uses computer algorithms to provide financial planning for its millennial clients. There is widespread consensus across the investment community that millennials raised in an environment of video games and social networks are looking for just this kind of investment robo-advice service. You are a member of a field test unit for the robo-advice service. Your team of 12 people has trained some 250 people (in the 25 to 35 target age range) in the basics of investing and how to take best advantage of the robo-advice service. The trial results have been discouraging. Many of the trial clients ignored the robo-advice completely and simply turned into hyperactive traders, executing multiple trades per week. Alarmingly, even those who followed the robo-advice did not fare well, losing an average of 5 percent on their investments even though the market (as measured by the S&P 500)…arrow_forwardThe industrial enterprise "HUANG S.A." purchased a sorting and packaging machine from a foreign company on 1/4/2017 at a cost of €500,000. The useful life of the machine was estimated by the Management at ten (10) years, while the residual value was estimated at zero. For the transportation of the machine from abroad to the company's factory, the amount of €20,000 was paid on 15/4/2017. As the insurance coverage of the machine during transportation was the responsibility of the selling company, HUANG S.A. proceeded to insure the machine from 16/4/2017 to 15/4/2018, paying the amount of €1,200. The delivery took place on 15/4/2017. As adequate ventilation of the multifunction device is essential for its proper operation, the company fitted an air duct on the multifunction device. The cost of the air duct amounted to €2,000 and was paid on 20/4/2017. On 25/4/2017, an external electrician was paid €5,000 for the electrical connection of the device.

- NARCOMS Database to Aid MS Victims Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes a disruption in the transmission of nerve signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. Disrupted nerve signals cause the symptoms of MS, which can vary from one person to another, but often include difficulty walking, dizziness, fatigue, involuntary muscle spasms, pain, stiffness, tremors, vision problems, and weakness. The North American Registry for Care and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) is a database created to capture the real-life experiences of people living with MS. The database contains information about each patient’s symptoms and their severity over time, medications taken, and courses of treatment. Physicians, scientists, and pharmaceutical companies can use this data to better understand MS by tracking patients’ disease course, comparing results of alternative courses of treatment, measuring the effectiveness of medications, and identifying useful indicators of the severity of…arrow_forwardKroger’s QueVision System Improves Customer Service Kroger has annual sales in excess of $100 billion and operates stores across the United States under various names, including Kroger’s, Ralph’s, and Harris Teeter. In surveys, Kroger’s customers have consistently rated waiting at the checkout lane as the worst part of the grocery shopping experience. In response, Kroger developed its QueVision computer-based information system, which relies on real-time data feeds from point-of-sale systems as well as infrared sensors over store doors and cash registers to count customers entering the store and standing at checkout lanes. The system also uses historical point-of-sale records to forecast the number of shoppers that can be expected and, therefore, the number of cashiers that will be needed. All this was done to achieve the goal of ensuring that customers never have more than one person ahead of them in the checkout lane. The system provides feedback by displaying customer checkout time…arrow_forwardFORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1 Read the article below and answer ALL the questions Pick n Pay reveals strategy to restore its business 27 May 2024 [100 MARKS] Following a disappointing full year performance for FY24, Pick n Pay CEO Sean Summers has unveiled the new board- approved six-point strategy to restore the Group's core Pick n Pay supermarket business to profitability.
