D) not liable.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) not liable.

Explanation:

Duty of Care is the legal expectation from individuals and businesses in the course of discharging their duties, not to engage in conduct that could be foreseen to predispose others to danger or harm. The Duty of Accounting or accounting responsibility requires an accurate record of transactions.  Liability implies being legally answerable. In business transactions, businessmen owe it to their customers to provide their services and products in the best possible way so as to prevent causing harm to them. Employees also owe it to the organization they work for to discharge their duties carefully to avoid causing them loss.

Blythe's honest error in overestimating the value of a particular stock purchase is a mistake that anyone can make and can be easily corrected. Her company would not go the long route of taking her to court over such a mistake. Therefore, Blythe is not liable to her company.
