Stan and Dwight were playing in a golf tournament and came to a hole where there was a hill that required a blind shot to the gr

een. Dwight asked Stan to drive ahead in the golf cart to see if they could hit their shots. Stan drove the cart over the hill, saw the green was clear, and started driving back to the tee box.

Answer:

b) Dwight is liable for negligence because Stan did not knowingly assume the risk that Dwight would hit a shot in his direction

Explanation:

In this scenario there was an agreement between Stan and Dwight where Dwight asked Stan to drive ahead in the golf cart to see if they could hit their shots.

However Stan drove the cart over the hill, saw the green was clear, and started driving back to the tee box.

Instead of waiting as agreed Dwight made a shot that hit Stan on the head injuring him.

Dwight is liable in this case because he was supposed to wait and get feedback from Stan before making a shot.

He knowingly made the shot knowing there was a blind spot.

This is negligence on Dwight's part.

The taxpayer’s marginal tax bracket is 25%. Which would the taxpayer prefer? a. $1.00 taxable income rather than $1.25 tax-exemp
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

option (d) $1.40 taxable income rather than $1.00 tax-exempt income

Explanation:

The taxpayer would prefer option (d) $1.40 taxable income rather than $1.00 tax-exempt income

The above statement will be chosen because in this case the after tax income will be greater than the tax exempt according to the condition given in the question

Given:

Marginal Tax bracket = 25%

thus,

Taxable income = $1.40

Tax = $1.40 × 0.25 = $0.35

Therefore,

The net income = Taxable income  - Tax = $1.40 - $0.35 = $1.05

and,

$1.05 > $1.00

Ganezh [65]

Answer: supply shock that caused a leftward shift of the short-run aggregate supply curve

Explanation:

One of the main causes of the 1974 - 1975 recessions was the raising of oil prices and then the subsequent oil embargo on the United States by Arab members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries(OPEC).

OPEC did not like the support that the United States was giving Israel and so placed an embargo on the U.S. such that the U.S. could no longer get much oil from the Middle East which she heavily relied upon.

This reduced the supply of oil drastically to the U.S. and resulted in a supply shock that shifted the short run aggregate supply curve to the left to reflect the fuel scarcity and the effect it had on the economy as production slowed down.
