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.

The Simmons Group, Inc.

a. December 31, 20Y9, the book value of Goodwill before impairment = $5,572,875

b. Effects on the accounts of the December 31, 20Y9 adjustment for the goodwill impairment:

1. Impairment loss of $3,901,012 will be accounted for in the Income Statement for the year, thus reducing the reported profits by $3,901,012.

2. Goodwill be reduced to $1,671,863 in the balance sheet by deducting the impairment loss of $3,901,012 from the book value before the impairment.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Jan. 1, 20Y3, Purchase price of NWS Insurance Co. = $37,152,500

Goodwill on acquisition = $5,572,875

December 31, 20Y9, the book value of Goodwill before impairment = $5,572,875

Impaired value - $1,671,863

Impairment loss = $3,901,012 ($5,572,875 - $1,671,863)

b) The Goodwill impairment shows that the carrying amount, $1,671,863, is less than the fair value of $5,572,875.  Goodwill is an intangible asset which Simmons Group acquired from NWS Insurance on January 1, 20Y3.  It is annually tested for impairment by comparing the fair value with the carrying value.

Which of the following is NOT a basic assumption of perfect​ competition? A. Production is characterized by significant economie
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: Production is characterized by significant economies of scale is not an assumption of perfect competition (A)

Explanation:

A perfect competition is a form of market structure that has many buyers and may sellers. In a perfect competition, there is a free entry and exit for producers as there is no barrier.

Also, firms are price takers as no producer can influence the price of the goods in the market unlike in an imperfect competition which is a price maker as producers can influence price. Firms also sell identical products that are the same in quality, size etc.

In a perfect competition, production is not characterized by significant economies of scale. That is an assumption that can be found in monopoly.

Therefore, option A is the right answer.

58,800 x 2.00 (The Cost of bowls to company was $3 while the cash to be received from customer was $1)

= $117,600 Which will be the total premium liability to be recorded.
