Answer: D
Explanation: A primary goal of bankruptcy is to treat creditors fairly and equally. The automatic stay effectuates this goal by stopping the creditors' race for the debtor's assets. However, a debtor can usually see that he will probably file for bankruptcy at least a couple of months before he actually files and after learning about how bankruptcy works, he may try to pay some creditors over others before filing. A debtor may prefer certain creditors, because they are relatives or friends or officers of a corporate debtor, or the debtor may have a continuing relationship with the creditor, such as a family doctor, that he doesn't want to jeopardize.A preference (aka preferential transfers) occurs when a debtor transfers money or an interest in the debtor's property to a creditor that is greater than what the creditor would have received in a Chapter 7 liquidation. an avoidable preference is a transfer or payment made to a creditor by a debtor that the bankruptcy trustee later seeks to recoup for the benefit of the bankruptcy estate and repayment of the estate's creditors. This is in accordance with the priority scheme prescribed by the Bankruptcy Code as opposed to the unilateral preference of the debtor and/or the original creditor receiving the payment . Many creditors never want to enounter avoidable preference litigation because it usually means a loss of time and attorneys' fees that must be expended to defend such suits.The purpose of avoidable preference litigation and the rationale behind the term's inclusion in the Bankruptcy Code is to fairly distribute the debtor's assets to creditors in an orderly scheme.

Answer:
His annual income is $7,200
Explanation:
Because 500 x 12(bc there are 12 months) = 6,000
and 100 x 12 = 1,200
6,000 + 1,200= $7,200
Answer: $6,600
Explanation:
Income, although not typically in a taxpayer’s possession, is usually constructively received in the taxable year which is when it is credited to the person's account, or made available so that the person may draw upon it at any time, or could have drawn upon it in the taxable year when the notice of intention to withdraw has already been given.
However, income is not constructively received when the taxpayer’s control of receipt is subject to limitations or restrictions. In this case, the last month’s rent ($600 security deposit) has already been constructively received and is included; but, the rent that was received in January for the December rent has not been constructively received and is therefore not included for a total of $6,600 which was derived from the [$600 deposit which was last month rent + ($600 × 10 months Feb-Nov)].
= $600 + $6000
= $6600
Answer:
-1.67
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand using midpoint method can be formulated as below:
Price elasticity of demand = {(Q_2 - Q_1)/[(Q_2 + Q_1)/2]}/{(P_2 - P_1)/[(P_2 + P_1)/2]}, where:
<em>Q_1 and Q_2 are the volumes before and after price changes;</em>
<em>P_1 is initial price and P_2 is new price.</em>
Putting all the numbers together, we have:
Price elasticity of demand = {(50-100)/[(50+100)/2]}/{(3-2)/([(3+2)/2]} =
- 1.67
Note: Negative sign indicate that when price increases volume will decrease.
