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:

The correct answer is letter "D": can cancel the payment to Joe as a voidable preference.

Explanation:

Voidable preferences are the transfer of assets from a debtor to a creditor before the debtor files for bankruptcy. Those assets will have to be returned by the debtor to the state where the bankruptcy was requested. Voidable preferences take place when the transfer is regarding a debt prior to the filing for bankruptcy and when the debtor's financial situation is insolvent (90 days before filing the request).

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$183,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold using the FIFO method is shown below:

= Number of units purchased × per unit + additional units purchased × per unit

= 15,000 units × $10 + 3,000 units × $11

= $150,000 + $33,000

= $183,000

Since there are 18,000 units are sold

out of which 15,000 are at $10 and the remaining 3,000 units are at $11 and the same is to be considered

Cassiopeia is a country facing an acute financial crisis. Coupled with a negative growth? rate, the rate of inflation in the eco
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

These two statements are correct:

A. The level of private sector spending on real assets in Cassiopeia has traditionally been low.

If the economist Danny Cox is recommending increases in government investment in real assets, it must be because the private sector is not investing enough.

An economy with low levels of private investment is an economy that in the long-run will not grow because investing is what produces capital accumulation, and what faciliates technological change, and those two factors are the most important variables for economic growth.

E. Irrespective of what policy measure the government implements to combat the crisis, inflation in Cassiopeia is likely to increase further.

This statement is correct if it is referring to the two policies recommended by economist Cox and unionist Boyle. Niether an income tax refund, or an increase in government spending are measures that tackle inflation, and in fact, both could increase inflation.

A income tax refund would put more cash in the hands of the public, and if demand for money is low, this would increase the velocity of circulation, and the more rapidly money circulates, the higher the inflation rate according to the quantity theory of money.

And more government spending is a form of expansionary fiscal policy that could increase inflation if the government finances the expenses by printing money.
