Who is one of the first salem residents to be accused of witchcraft in this play?
KiRa [710]
N Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Bridget Bishop, the first colonist to be tried in the Salem witch trials, is hanged after being found guilty of the practice of witchcraft.

Trouble in the small Puritan community began in February 1692, when nine-year-old Elizabeth Parris and 11-year-old Abigail Williams, the daughter and niece, respectively, of the Reverend Samuel Parris, began experiencing fits and other mysterious maladies. A doctor concluded that the children were suffering from the effects of witchcraft, and the young girls corroborated the doctor’s diagnosis. Under compulsion from the doctor and their parents, the girls named those allegedly responsible for their suffering.

On March 1, Sarah Goode, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba, an Indian slave from Barbados, became the first Salem residents to be charged with the capital crime of witchcraft. Later that day, Tituba confessed to the crime and subsequently aided the authorities in identifying more Salem witches. With encouragement from adults in the community, the girls, who were soon joined by other “afflicted” Salem residents, accused a widening circle of local residents of witchcraft, mostly middle-aged women but also several men and even one four-year-old child. During the next few months, the afflicted area residents incriminated more than 150 women and men from Salem Village and the surrounding areas of satanic practices.

In June 1692, the special Court of Oyer and Terminer ["to hear and to decide"] convened in Salem under Chief Justice William Stoughton to judge the accused. The first to be tried was Bridget Bishop of Salem, who was accused of witchcraft by more individuals than any other defendant. Bishop, known around town for her dubious moral character, frequented taverns, dressed flamboyantly (by Puritan standards), and was married three times. She professed her innocence but was found guilty and executed by hanging on June 10. Thirteen more women and five men from all stations of life followed her to the gallows, and one man, Giles Corey, was executed by crushing. Most of those tried were condemned on the basis of the witnesses’ behavior during the actual proceedings, characterized by fits and hallucinations that were argued to have been caused by the defendants on trial.

In October 1692, Governor William Phipps of Massachusetts ordered the Court of Oyer and Terminer dissolved and replaced with the Superior Court of Judicature, which forbade the type of sensational testimony allowed in the earlier trials. Executions ceased, and the Superior Court eventually released all those awaiting trial and pardoned those sentenced to death. The Salem witch trials, which resulted in the executions of 19 innocent women and men, had effectively ended.

Has anyone done the managing payroll quiz for Personal Finance on connexus???
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) withholdings

b) deductions

c) payroll register

d) methods of paying employees

e) commission

f) specific required deductions

g) hourly rate

h) voluntary deductions

i) Salary

j) standard deductions

Explanation:

A)

Withholdings are the amount that is associated with the payroll deductions from an employee's gross wages. The employer does not include withholdings in the employee's paycheck. Instead of adding it to the salary, the amount is transferred to the federal, state, or local government or tax authorities. It also decreases the tax that an employee has to pay during the yearly tax return.

B)

When an employer withholds any amount from an employee's gross salary, such as taxes, insurance, wage responsibilities, saving plans, and child support payments, it refers to deductions. The payroll deduction is also known as involuntary deductions because the employer is withholding the amount. Those deductions are legally deductible; therefore, it is automatic deductions.

C)

A list of periodic reports that enlist the hourly wages, additionals, gross pay, deductions, net pay, and the date of payrolls refers to the payroll register. More precisely, it is a summary of each employee's paycheck throughout a period. It starts with the current quarter's or month's total hourly wages and ends with the net pay of the employee.

D)

The commission is the percentage paid to an employee for his or her additional service provided for the company. For example, a company asks an employee to produce anything over 500 shirts per week will receive 10% additions, if the employee contributes in 510 shirts, he will receive an extra payment, it is commission. The hourly rate is the amount paid to the employee per hour. The salary is the monthly or weekly amount paid to an employee for his periodic contribution towards a business.

E)

The commission is the portion given to an employee for his or her supplementary service rendered for the company. For example, a manager of a firm urges the sales representative to sell $10,000 per month to receive an extra 10% of the total sales. If the sales representative sells $10,000 or more, he will receive an additional fee as a percentage. That percentage refers to the commission.

F)

Specific payroll deduction means deduction from paycheck to meet the obligations of income tax and other required duties. Every individual and corporation whose income is taxable is obliged to pay a tax. In the case of specific payroll deduction, an employee is legally obligated to withhold this money from an employee's payroll check based on federal and state laws. But specifically required deduction is not only used for tax provisions but also used for employee-related benefits like health insurance and short time disability plans that are offered by the employer.

G)

According to the Cambridge dictionary, hourly rate means the amount of money that is charged, paid, or earned for every hour worked. An employer is bound to pay a minimum hourly wage to the employee. It is one of the critical issues as many workers work as a part-time job. Since it is not a fixed job, so monthly or weekly payment is not applicable here. To adjust the amount for every type of employment, whether it is a permanent or temporary hourly rate of wage, is the best solution.

H)

When any deductions from employees salary or wages are not legally binded, those deductions are termed as Voluntary deductions. Voluntary deduction does not need any imposition of law. As it is not legally required, it is offered by the employer for employee's acceptance. This kind of deduction may include health, accident, disability, retirement plans; flexible spending accounts such as parking and transit costs; union dues; and deductions for paycheck advances and other company-sponsored benefits.

I)

Salary is most commonly known as compensations paid by the employer to an employee in return for required job performance. Salary generally paid in fixed intervals for an individual's performance. The intervals may be weekly, monthly, etc. and these are set up by a mutual contract between employer and employee. Salary mainly includes base pay and other benefits,  bonuses, or rises. Salary mainly gives security towards the employee as it is fixed payment for their work performances.

J)

Standard deduction means deduction of some amount of money from the total amount of income to reduce total taxable income. In short, it means a portion of income that is not subject to tax. The amount of one's standard deduction depends on one's filing status, age, or whether one is disabled or claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return. But all the taxpayers are not qualified to enjoy this provision. Nonresident husbands and wives, married people filing separately whose spouses itemized, and trusts and estates cannot entertain this benefit.

What is fraud and how does it impact health care costs?
valentinak56 [21]

The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA) estimates that the financial losses due to health care fraud are in the tens of billions of dollars each year.

Whether you have employer-sponsored health insurance or you purchase your own insurance policy, health care fraud inevitably translates into higher premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for consumers, as well as reduced benefits or coverage. For employers-private and government alike-health care fraud increases the cost of providing insurance benefits to employees and, in turn, increases the overall cost of doing business. For many Americans, the increased expense resulting from fraud could mean the difference between making health insurance a reality or not.

However, financial losses caused by health care fraud are only part of the story. Health care fraud has a human face too. Individual victims of health care fraud are sadly easy to find. These are people who are exploited and subjected to unnecessary or unsafe medical procedures. Or whose medical records are compromised or whose legitimate insurance information is used to submit falsified claims.

<span>Don't be fooled into thinking that health care fraud is a victimless crime. There is no doubt that health care fraud can have devastating effects.</span>

What factors will determine the sizes of the​ shortages? The extent of the excess demand implied by the shortages will depend on
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The answer is: C) the elasticity of​ demand, where the shortages will be larger if demand is more inelastic.

Explanation:

When the demand for a product is completely inelastic it means that the quantity demanded for that product will be the same whether its price increases or decreases. Rarely any product is completely inelastic, but inelasticity shows a tendency of buyers to keep buying a product even if its price rises, for example gasoline.

Inelastic products don´t follow the law of supply and demand, since the price doesn´t alter the demand.

If suppliers can produce enough goods (product shortages) and the quantity demanded stays the same, the price will rise. But if the demand for the product is inelastic then the shortage will get worse since every time more people will want to buy the product and their will be less product to buy.
