While living in her home country of Tanzania, Sophia Kiwanuka signed an employment contract with Anne Margareth Bakilana, a Tanz

anian living in Washington, D.C. Kiwanuka traveled to the United States to work as a babysitter and maid in Bakilana’s house. When Kiwanuka arrived, Bakilana confiscated her passport, held her in isolation, and forced her to work long hours under threat of having her deported. Kiwanuka worked seven days a week without breaks and was subjected to regular verbal and psychological abuse by Bakilana. Kiwanuka filed a complaint against Bakilana for intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other claims. Bakilana argued that Kiwanuka’s complaint should be dismissed because the allegations were insufficient to show outrageous intentional conduct that resulted in severe emotional distress. If you were the judge, in whose favor would you rule? Why? [Kiwanuka v. Bakilana, 844 F.Supp.2d 107 Miller, Roger LeRoy.

In this example, Kiwanuka is suing for intentional infliction of emotional distress. This can be defined as extreme and outrageous conduct which results in severe emotional distress to another person. This act must be severely extreme, to an extent that is not normally tolerated by society. In such cases, threatening conduct coupled with repeated annoyances can be enough to offer support to a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress.

If I were the judge, I would rule in favor of Kiwanuka, as I the fact that Bakilana held Kiwanuka in isolation and confiscated her passport is evidence of extreme emotional distress.

Suppose that the Federal Reserve conducts open market operations by purchasing $1,000 worth of government securities from Bank A
notsponge [240]

Answer:

$100 in bank A

$900 in bank B

Explanation:

Since the required reserve ratio is 10%, then bank A can lend up to 90% of the funds to bank B, and must keep the remaining 10%.

  • bank A = $1,000 x 10% = $100
  • bank B = $1,000 x 90% = $900

If bank B borrowed the money to another client, then they would be able to borrow $900 x 90% = $810, and they should keep $90 as reserves.

Mott Company's sales mix is 3 units of A, 2 units of B, and 1 unit of C. Selling prices for each product are $34, $44, and $54,
Airida [17]

The break even point in composite units is 5000 units.

Break even point

The Break-even point  is calculated by dividing the fixed cost by the contribution margin per unit.

For this sales mix, the contribution margin per unit is the aggregate of each contribution margin. Contribution margin is calculated by subtracting variable cost from the selling price  

Contribution margin  for A is $20- $12 = $8  x 3 units

Contribution margin for B is  $ 30 - $18 = $12 x 2 units

Contribution margin for C is $40 -$24= $16  x 1 unit

Total contribution margin per unit will be

(8 x 3) x (12 x 2 ) x( $16 x 1)= $64

Break-even point = $320,000 /64
