Rodney (a fictional person) was self-employed, running a successful business, seemingly healthy, and never thought he would have

financial problems. Being self-employed, he lacked health insurance. One day on the job, Rodney suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized for a week. As a result, he owed more than $100,000 in hospital and medical bills to the hospital. After the heart attack, Rodney could not work in his physically demanding line of work, and his business suffered dramatically. The bills and mortgage payments kept piling up, and Rodney was sinking fast. On top of the medical bills and mortgage, he owed thousands of dollars to multiple companies and creditors. Rodney considered selling his house to get out of the financial crisis he was in, but the value of the house had dropped significantly. After much consideration, Rodney decided to file, bankruptcy. In the end, he decided he would rather have a bankruptcy on his record instead of dealing with a mountain of debt.

b. Individuals; Rodney can file.

3. If Rodney did not intend to file for voluntary liquidation, he could not be forced into bankruptcy.  a. No, he must file the bankruptcy himself.

4. One benefit of filing is that once a petition is filed, the code provides for a(n) _______________for almost all creditor litigation against the debtor.

e. Order of relief.

6. A possible consequence of Rodney's failure to show up at a creditors meeting is:

b. The court may refuse to grant the bankruptcy

Explanation:

In bankruptcy practices, an order for relief invokes the automatic stay.  It is a block on Rodney's debts which brings down the iron curtain, thus, separating Rodney's pre-bankruptcy from his post-bankruptcy.  It automatically creates a bankruptcy estate, which prohibits all unauthorized transfers of the Rodney's property.

Answer:

B) government spending and taxes that automatically increase or decrease along with the business cycle.

Explanation:

The two most common automatic stabilizers are: income taxes and unemployment benefits.

When the economy is strong, people make more money, and income tax revenue automatically increases.

On the contrary, when the economy is weak, or in recession, people earn less, and more of them are unemployed. Unemployment benefits therefore increase accordingly.
