In most states, a will is often referred to as a "last will and testament". So any trust or transfer at death that involves will is said to be testamentary (from the testament). Choice B is a living trust - which doesn't involve death. Choices C and D can be made while a person is alive.
The answer here is A, a testamentary trust.
Answer:
Economic integration agreement is when countries within a particular geographical area decide to remove or relax tariff or non-tariff barriers to trade between themselves and also to coordinate and harmonize their fiscal and economic policies. Free trade area is the simplest form of an economic integration; it is when governments of member countries agree to remove trade restriction between each other and when member countries are given the freedom to determine their own external trade policies towards non-members.
Supporters of free trade area argue that it is beneficial to the country based on the trade creation argument. Trade creation is where high-cost domestic production is replaced by more efficiently produced imports from within the group; that is, more expensive domestic products are replaced by lower priced imports from countries within the group. The trade creation argument is hinged on the fact that a free trade area ensures that trade is generated over and above what would otherwise have happened if there was no integration. Further, the removal of tariffs allows members to specialize in those products for which they have a comparative advantage leading to a variety of cheap imports for domestic consumers, thereby increasing living standards or welfare gains. Trade creation also creates an incentive for high cost domestic producers to cut cost so as to remain competitive thereby enhancing efficiency.
On the other hand, a free trade area is criticized on the basis of trade diversion. This is where trade with a low-cost country outside the group is influenced by higher–cost products supplied from within the group; this results in a less efficient allocation of resources as trade from outside the group is replaced by trade from within the group. Trade diversion could mean that local consumers would have to buy products at less competitive prices. Another argument would be that a free trade area would lead to a removal of tariff between member countries thereby resulting in a cessation of government revenue from tariffs. As opposed to a free trade area, free trade would increase world output and employment, raise quality and lower prices of goods as firms have access to factor inputs; it will also increase world living standards or enhances welfare gains. A free trade agreement only restricts these potential advantages to a particular geographical space.

Answer:
the post money valuation of the company is $1,750,000
Explanation:
The computation of the post money valuation is shown below:
Given that
Value of 400,000 shares is $1 million.
So,
The Value of 1 share is
= $1 million ÷ 400,000
= $2.5
And,
Total number of shares is
= 400,000 + 200,000 + 100,000
= 700,000
Now
Total value of shares is
= $2.5 × 700,000
= $1,750,000
hence, the post money valuation of the company is $1,750,000
Climate Change is the first trend that is expected to cause more natural disasters. This has been facilitated by global warming caused by increased green house gases. Food prices are expected to rise due to high temperatures that has affected corn and soybean. Floods and storms are now becoming unpredictable.
There is high control of oil, gas and food prices by financial markets. Commodities traders are now setting prices instead of supply and demand thus the value of dollar in under the control of foreign exchange traders.
Increasing rates of interest, where recently the Federal Reserve wants to increase the Fed fund rates to two percent point. Inflation will be at 2% and unemployment at 4% thus this will show <u>a no falling to recession situation</u> which will allow Fed to keep increasing rates.In the long run cost of loans will rise.
Other trends to notice are;the decline in global economic power of the U.S and the fact that the U.S economy is current in the expansion phase of the business cycle.
