This trade was heavily regulated by England through a series of Navigation Acts, which required certain goods to be shipped only to England and in English ships, and imposed taxes on certain imported goods.

Question 15

Accepted Answer

A colony is a territory that is controlled by a foreign power while a neo-colony has formal independence but is still economically dependent on the former colonial power. In a neo-colony, the former colonial power usually maintains control over important economic decision-making processes, and often has significant influence over the government and policies of the newly independent country.

Question 16

What is the definition of a corporation?

Accepted Answer

A corporation is a type of business organization that is owned by people who buy shares of stock in the company. This ownership structure allows for the separation of ownership and management, and limits the liability of individual shareholders in the event of financial or legal issues.

Question 17

A corporation is said to have limited liability. What does limited liability mean?

Accepted Answer

Limited liability means that investors are not personally responsible for the debts or legal liabilities of the corporation. If the corporation goes bankrupt or is sued, the investors are only liable up to the amount of their investment. Personal assets of the investors are protected. Option A is incorrect because it implies that investors have to use their own personal assets to pay off the debts of the corporation. Options C and D are incorrect because they are extreme cases that do not accurately define limited liability.

Accepted Answer

The value of the XYZ corporation’s buildings, machinery, and furnishings are considered as assets because they are tangible items that have value and contribute to the company’s ability to generate revenue. The total value of outstanding XYZ corporate stock and bonds are liabilities of the company, indicating the amount of money that the company owes to investors. The total sales revenue earned by the company in one year is an indicator of the company’s performance, but it is not considered an asset.

Question 19

Which of the following is one of the important differences in northern farms and farms in the southern United States before the Civil War?

Accepted Answer

Farms in the north tended to have less productive land than the large plantations in the south, which were able to cultivate cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and rice. While some northern farms did use slave labor, it was not as prevalent as in the south. The value of a farm was not necessarily determined by its size or location, but rather by its profitability and productivity.

Question 20

A direct cause of the Civil War was the attempt to expand slavery into the western United States. Why did slave owners want to expand into the West?

Accepted Answer

The practice of planting only one crop tended to deplete the soil in the South, making it difficult for slaveowners to continue their agricultural practices. As a result, they sought to expand into the West to acquire fresh soil for planting.
