Answer: B. Treasury notes.

Explanation:

Treasury Notes are tax exempt from all state and local taxation but are taxable by the Federal Government with the relevant tax rate being the investor's marginal tax rate.

The amount taxed is the interest received on the note when it matures. The investor can also be taxed on capital gain if they bought the Note at discounted prices and then sold it for more than that.

Agile project management involves ____ whereas traditional project management involves _______. Multiple Choice known and stable

Ainat [17]

Answer:

For comprehension purposes, I would write the question again with options attached below:

Agile project management involves ____ whereas traditional project management involves _______. Multiple Choice

a. known and stable scope, unknown requirements

b. high certainty, projects with unstable scope

c. projects with high predictability, project with unknown or unstable requirements

d. iterative and incremental delivery, upfront planning with high predictability

e. high uncertainty, projects with unknown requirements

The correct answer is option d. (iterative and incremental delivery, upfront planning with high predictability)

So, Agile project management involves iterative and incremental delivery whereas traditional project management involves upfront planning with high predictability.

Explanation:

Agile project management involves iterative and incremental delivery as Agile project management allows making changes to the product which then opens ways for iteration. Agile life cycles are composed of several iterations because of changes that might arise due to feedback during the production process of the project.

Traditional project management is highly predictable and it doesn't give room for changes as project cycles and stages are planned ahead. It's a rigid process.

ACME Drilling is evaluating an offshore oil-drilling platform for possible impairment. The company estimates the following: book

alekssr [168]

Answer:

ACME Drilling should record impairment loss of $6.9 million

Explanation:

According to GAAP, when the fair value of an asset is below the net carrying amount of that asset ( Asset's historical cost - Asset's accumulated depreciation or the net book value of the asset), the Company should record it as asset impairment loss.

In ACME's case, the net book value is $18.6 million while the estimated fair value is only $11.7 million meaning that the platform is actually worth less than it is recorded on ACME's book. Thus, an impairment loss of $6.9 million should be recorded ( $18.6 million - $11.7 million) to realize the fair value of the oil-drilling platform.

The sum of projected sum of future cash flows in this case is not suitable to be used to determine the oil-drilling platform because it has not been discounted to the present value amount, and also, it is not appropriate under GAAP.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

B buy U.S. Government securities from bank dealers with an agreement to sell them back at a later date

Explanation:

The Federal reserve uses open market operations to regulate liquidity in the economy. This eases or restricts how bank dealers can give credit.

To ease credit giving ability of bank dealers the Federal Reserve will buy US Government securities from bank dealers. This gives them extra money which they can give out as loans to their customers.

On the other hand when credit needs to be tightened, the Federal Reserve will mop up cash by selling Government securities to the bank dealers
