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.

Which clause protects proceeds from creditors of the beneficiary?
Inga [223]
The answer is spendthrift clause. It is a trust that is produced for the benefit of a person that gives an independent trustee full authority to make decisions as to how the trust funds may be spent for the benefit of the beneficiary. Creditors of the beneficiary usually cannot reach the money in the trust, and the funds are not actually under the control of the beneficiary. Also,  it prevents the beneficiary's reckless spending of benefits.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

a. monopolistic elements in the economy will prevent an immediate sharp fall in prices as a result of decreasing demand

Explanation:

When there is recession the price of the factor goes down and with that, the insufficient demand for a certain good or services is eliminated. The reasoning is that the decrease in prices stimulates demand and adjust the market.

Keynes among other economist consider that unemployment increase during recessions because the nominal wages rate do not fall. As the union and worker do not want to see their wage decrease. Same is applied to prices which makes then inflexible in a downward direction.

While "supply creates its own demand" is "Says's Law" which is rejected in keynes main book "The general theory"

Hece option A is the only one which is true
