Question

Johnny used his grandmother's credit card to buy a new set of headphones

without her permission. What act has he committed?
O A. Commerce
O B. Fraud
O C. Sales liability
O D. Liability

Answer 1

fraud

Step-by-step explanation:

fraud - because fraud is when something is purchased or used in an illicit manner without the consent of the cardholder (in this case) therefore resulting in a fraud/financial crime.

commerce - when one is buying /selling something usually of great worth. this is a very legal term.

sales liability - is when a retailer takes taxes from someone (sales tax) and has yet to give such to the state/county.

liability - is when someone owes (usually a large deal of money) such as some form of debt. (mortgage, bank, etc)

therefore the only one to fit this scenario is fraud.

hope this helps:)

Answer 2

Eliminate commerce, A, because commerce is the act of buying things.

Eliminate C and D, because they have nothing to do with taking something without permission.

So this leaves only option B, fraud.

What is fraud?

Fraud is the act of one individual scamming or stealing from another individual under their name or using fake identities to commit theft and gain benefit from this action. Fraud is a crime.

Hope it helps, have a great day!
