Answer: b. piercing the corporate veil.

Explanation:

Normally, corporations have limited liability which means that the assets of the shareholders are separate from that of the company and should the company go bankrupt for instance, the assets of the shareholders would be safe and only that of the company could be liquidated.

Sometimes however, the courts can remove this limited liability protection which would enable the assets of the shareholders to be targeted in what is known as "piercing the corporate veil".

There are several reasons this can happen for instance:

  • Fraud by the owners
  • Failure to follow formal corporate rules
  • Inadequate capitalization of the company
  • Use of company assets as private assets.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

c. the trade balance and the exchange rate.

Explanation:

An Open Economy is an economy that allows the free inflow and outflow of goods, services, capital and people. The opposite of a closed economy.

What sets these two models apart is that in an open economy, both imports and exports are allowed, so that countries necessarily have to trade in more than one currency, so the exchange rate must be examined. In addition, business transactions are recorded in a balance of payments. So these are the two concepts that are not tried in a closed economy analysis, but are introduced in an open economy.
