Camden Hurst · Answer 1

d. recover it as a voidable preference.

Explanation:

Every creditor has the right to recover the amount from its debtor.

Basically Music Inc. has the right to recover from Jazz Dance Studio, as in the books of Jazz Dance Studio, Music Inc. is a creditor amounting $1,500.

Although Dance Studio has filed for bankruptcy, it is still liable for any payment to be made towards it creditors, outstanding.

Therefore, even after such bankruptcy Music Inc. can recover its amount from Dance Studio, even before filling for bankruptcy, as that amount can be set aside by the liquidating firm.
