Answer:
Explanation:
Base on the scenario been described in the question, Molander can only recover against the assets of the limited
partnership and its corporate general and limited partners. He cannot recover against Calvin
Raugust personally. Under limited partnership law, a limited partnership is liable on its own
contracts; in addition, the general partner is individually liable for the debts and obligations of a
limited partnership. Limited partners may be held liable for the obligations of the limited
partnership if the limited partnership has been defectively formed. Otherwise, limited partners’
liability is limited to their capital contribution to the limited partnership.
Answer:
C. Shut down the presses printing my book
Explanation:
Since the average variable cost of producing the book is above the demand curve, the best course of action is to shut down the printing (production) of more books. The author would lose less money by shutting down operations rather than continuing production at a variable cost higher than the demand he's receiving for the books.
In economics, when profit is less than the average variable cost, firms are advised to stop production in the short run and incur economic loss on fixed inputs. This is because with continued operations, total revenue would not only be lower than total cost, but rather, would also be less than total variable cost.
Let:
x = amount in the account invested in 2.5%
20000 - x = amount in the account invested in 3%
Solution:
.025x + .03 (20000 - x) = 540
.025x + 600 - .03x = 540
-.005x + 600 = 540
-.005x = 540 - 600
-.005x = -60
x = 12000
Therefore, that person invests 12,000 at 2.5%
and
20,000 - 12,000 = 8,000 at 3%
Answer:
(A) Fixed exchange rate regime
(B) Fixed exchange rate
(C) Flexible exchange rate
(D) Flexible exchange rate
Explanation:
(A) A fixed exchange rate regime signals a commitment not to engage in inflationary policies. NOTE: Inflationary policies are a type of monetary policies (the type used to pump money into the economy). See answer (D).
(B) A fixed exchange rate regime provides certainty about the value of a currency, for example, when the exchange rate between Philippine Pesos and Arab Emirate Dollars is fixed at 10PHP - 1AED, traders in this currency will be certain that at any planning time in business, investment or consumption, 10 PHP will be equal to 1 AED.
(C) Flexible exchange rate distorts incentives for importing and exporting goods and services. What are these incentives? On the government side, it is either the revenue that government makes from import tariffs and duties OR the subsidy that government pays on exported goods. On the importer/exporter side, it is the custom duties paid by importers on imported goods AND the subsidies enjoyed by exporters on exported products. A flexible exchange rate distorts or fluctuates these incentives.
(D) Flexible exchange rate enables policy makers to engage in monetary policy. Now, monetary policy is a tool used by ministers of finance or policy makers in every country; to regulate (increase or reduce or bring back to normal) spending and investment. If the exchange rate between or among countries were fixed, monetary policies would have limited application or usefulness when implemented. A flexible exchange rate encourages and enables engagement in or use of monetary policies.
