For consideration, Hazel orally promises to pay Jill $750 a month, on the first day of every month, for as long as Jill lives. H

azel makes the payments regularly for the first seven months and then makes no further payments. Jill claims that Hazel has breached the oral contract and sues Hazel for damages. Hazel contends that the contract is unenforceable because, under the Statute of Frauds, contracts that cannot be performed within one year must be in writing. Discuss whether Hazel will succeed in this defense.

Answer:

Hazel will have to pay Jill $750 for his remaining life because Hazel had received something which is very expensive in return in compensation of his lifetime monthly payments of $750 to Jill. So this means that the 100% contract is enforceable.

The contract formation can be proved in the court because when Hazel will say that the contract is not written so according to Statute of Fraud he is not liable to pay Jill. This means he is agreeing at the point that the contract was in place.

Barriers to International Trade Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and service
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. Embargoes and sanctions

When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.

2. Tariffs

This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.

3. Import Quota

Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.

4. Tariff.

This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.

5. Import Quota.

This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.

6. Embargoes and Sanctions.

This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.

One difference between a monopoly and a competitive firm is that A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve. B. a monop
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve.

Explanation:

In business, it is seen to occur because they have no competition, monopolists have no incentive to improve their products. A lot of their focus is instead placed on maintaining monopolistic conditions through bribing their way and other tactics that dissuade competitors from entering the market.

 Demand curve slopes downward, this is said to decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity and in the eyes of the monopolist, cash is lost with each additional unit been produced, causing marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue. This causes the restricted output and higher costs that characterize products produced by monopolists.

Because the demand curve slopes downward, marginal revenue decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity. Thus, the monopolist loses money with each additional unit produced, as marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue.

dexar [7]

Answer:

The answer is: D) a,b, and c

Explanation:

Significant financial interest (SFI) is anything of monetary value, whether that value can be determined or not, that belongs to: an investigator, the investigator's spouse, or any dependent children.

When an investigator receives funding from the NIH it must complete a Declaration Form including all the SFI acquired or discovered in the past year.  

Even if the stock worth only $1, it still has monetary value. The same for the $4000 paid to him for consulting work and the royalties worth $10,000.
