Answer:

The perfect and perhaps most commonly known is former U.S. President Richard Nixon.

Explanation:

Nixon was President of the United States from 1969 to 1974, he was elected for two periods, but he only finished one and less than half the other one. The reason is that he was embroiled in the Watergate scandal: an espionage campaign of the Democratic Party from Republican officials, including Nixon himself.

With these acts, Nixon, as the highest public official in the nation, failed to show probity, and dishonored the office of the president. He was quick to renounce the presidency, and would have faced legal challenges if not for his Vice President, Gerald Ford, who became president as his replacement, and issued him a presidential pardon immediately after.

Answer:

d.economic duress

Explanation:

The economic duress in simple terms means a party who is entering into a contract frightens or threatens of cancelling the contract or does not act according to the terms of the contract unless the other party in the contract agrees to their demands.

In the context, the conduct of Roger against Karl is probably can be called as the 'economic duress' as Roger informs Karl before the deadline of filing the response that he will not represent himself against IRS unless Karl enters into a deal of an expensive retainer agreement. Thus it is an economic duress that Roger is showing and forcing Karl to agree on his demands.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.

Explanation:

Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.

Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.
