Answer: Comingled the assets of the business with that of the shareholders.
Explanation:

There are times however, when the Courts would remove this protection clause and one of those times is if the shareholders of the business mix their personal assets with that of the company.
This is what happened here so the Court would be in the right to remove the Corporate entity clause that protects shareholder liability and hold Angela directly responsible.
Assume two economies are identical in every way except that one has a higher saving rate. According to the Solow growth model, in the steady state the country with the higher saving rate will have ______ level of output per person and ______ rate of growth of output per worker as/than the country with the lower saving rate. A. the same; the same B. the same; a higher C. a higher; the same D. a higher; a higher
Answer:
a higher; the same
Explanation:
Solow's law attempts to explain how long term productivity is affected by capital accumulation and population growth.
As population increases the steady state of capital per person decreases.
However when the rate of savings is high in the economy there will be a larger capital stock and higher output in the long run.
If the economies are identical as is stated above the the rate of growth of output per worker will be the same.

This jacket is so thin. It can't possibly keep out the rain."(Use the boomerang method.)
Answer:
The jacket is thin because it uses a fiber called thinsulate that enables it to have the lightest weight but is also the warmest.
Explanation:
In general marketing, the boomerang method refers to the 'reconstruction' of the customer's objection into the main reason for buying. In other words, using the same excuse that a customer has about a product to entice him/her to buy that product by reframing it as a selling point is known as the boomerang method.
In the given scenario, the customer's objection is about the thinness of the jacket can be used as a selling point by the salesman by stating that the lightness of the jacket is what makes it a good product. So, if the seller tells the customer "the jacket is thin because it uses a fiber called Thinsulate that makes it thin but also warm", then that will make it an interesting and important factor for the customer to like the product more.

When this happens, economists describe it as a crowding-out effect. With such large borrowing by the government, the capital market is suffocated, leading to increased interest rates and less private investments.

The balance sheet of Tech Track reports total assets of $400,000 and $600,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. Sales revenue for the year is $1,000,000 ($800,000 in the previous year), net income is $40,000, and net cash flows from operating activities are $50,000. How does Tech Track's asset turnover compare to the industry average of 2.0 times
Answer: Same as
Explanation:

Firstly, Average Assets will be:
= (beginning Assets + ending Assets)/2
= ($400000 + $600000)/2
= $1,000,000/2
= $500,000
Then, the assets turnover ratio will be:
= Sales / average Assets
= $1,000,000 / 500,000
= 2 times
Therefore, Tech Track's asset turnover is same as the industry average of 2.0 times.

Bil Tarnofsky makes the following statement: 'We must become more flexible if we are to meet our personnel needs and maximize efficiency. In the past, we simply hired as many full-time employees as we thought we needed. But this focus has caused us to lose many valuable employees. We should offer flextime and job sharing options to help us keep and attract talented employees. "Margaret Robin responds by saying "Alternatives to traditional job design approaches can lead to significant cost savings. Next year we are expected to have 500 more employees than our current facility allows, but my analysis reveals that 600 of our employees could telecommute. Therefore, we can avoid costly actions such as moving our offices or building extensions if these workers became telecommuters, job sharing can also reduce facility costs as well as payroll costs. Tamnofsky and Robin would be most likely to disagree about which of the following questions?
A. Would telecommuting likely lead to cost savings?
B. Does the organization have a moral obligation to offer flextime and job sharing options?
C. If offering a job sharing option would not reduce costs, should the organization still offer it?
D. Would the organization be better able to keep valuable employees if it offered flextime and job sharing options?
E. Are any other organizational structure decisions important for the future of the organization?
Answer:
C. If offering a job sharing option would not reduce costs, should the organization offer it?
Explanation:
The statement Bil Tarnofsky makes is focused on retaining talented employees and attract new talented employees, by offering flextime and job sharing options
The statement Margaret Robin responds with is the use of alternative job design, such as telecommuting could achieve higher cost savings from the need to accommodate the 500 more employees, by moving the offices and expanding the buildings, in the coming year
Tamnofsky and Robin would be most likely to disagree on the different focus of their statements which are; If offering a job sharing option would not reduce costs, should the organization offer it?
A felon planned to break into the rental storage unit next to his that contained valuable electronic equipment. He went to a hardware store to purchase a crowbar. The proprietor sold him the crowbar even though he told her that he needed it to break into someone's storage unit. After the purchase, the felon went to the storage facility with his friend. The felon told the friend that he had lost the key to his storage unit and did not have time to contact the facility's manager, so they needed to break into the unit to get his equipment. Because the felon had a bad back, the friend pried open the door with the crowbar and carried the equipment out to the car. A silent alarm was triggered and the pair were apprehended shortly after leaving the facility. Can the proprietor and the friend be convicted as accomplices to larceny
Answer:
Yes.
The proprietor and the friend were accessories to the crime. They could have prevented it, but they did nothing. The friend even participated actively in the robbery.
Explanation:
In criminal law, an accessory to a crime refers to a person who knowingly and voluntarily participates in the commission of a crime, for example, breaking rental storage. They can be categorized as before the crime (the proprietor who sold the crossbar) or after the commission of the crime (the friend that facilitated the robbery). Accessories to a crime need not be actually present at the scene of the robbery to be held liable for this crime.
Cleopatra is a sales agent for Caesar under a written listing agreement to sell Caesar's home on the range. Tiberius and Claudius are unrepresented buyers interested in purchasing Caesar's home. Cleopatra tells Tiberius about Claudius' offer and tells him he must beat the offer; Cleopatra doesn't tell Claudius about Tiberius because she thinks Tiberius is a much better fit for Caesar's lovely Grecian-style mansion, and Claudius hasn't yet applied for financing with Roman Bank. What are Cleopatra's actions an example of
Answer:
Violating duty of fairness to Claudius
Explanation:
Duty of fairness is defined as the process by which administrative decisions are made in in a fair manner so that the affected parties have an opportunity to put forward their views before the decision is made.
This results in a more inclusive decision making process.
In the given scenario Cleopatra decided to tell Tiberius about Claudius' offer and tells him he must beat the offer; Cleopatra doesn't tell Claudius about Tiberius because she thinks Tiberius is a much better fit for Caesar's lovely Grecian-style mansion.
This is unfair to Claudius as preferential treatment is being given to Tiberius.
