Answer:

The correct answer is d. risk aversion.

Explanation:

Risk aversion is an investor's preference for avoiding uncertainty in their financial investments.

Due to this attitude towards risk, this type of individuals directs their investment portfolio to safer financial assets even though they are less profitable.

The phenomenon of risk aversion implies by definition a certain level of risk rejection by a person who invests in financial markets. A person may face a risk aversion situation, be risk neutral or be risk prone.

Name two criminal justice careers that require a similar skillset and explain how this skillset aids in job performance.
kenny6666 [7]
Two criminal justice careers with the same skillset would be corrections officer & police officer. The similar skillset I see being useful in job performance would be verbal communication skills to question, talk, listen to people they serve. The second skillset would be physical stamina to walk, bend, carry extra gear, drive long distances.
These are just two examples. There are others you might identify as being important too.

The Homestead Strike of the Iron and Steel workers in Homestead, PA is representative of the struggle in the late 1800's between
denpristay [2]

Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

The Homestead strike was a combination of both a company lockout (the company didn't allow workers to work) and a union strike (where the workers did't want to work). It was a power struggle between one of the darkest and sinister monopolists of the 19th century, Carnegie Steel (led by Andrew Carnegie) and the most powerful workers' union in America, the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers.

In 1889 the union won, but Carnegie wanted revenge, so in 1892, he demanded harsher conditions after the initial contract was over and when the union said no, a lockout started. It was bloody and messy, with 16 dead. Carnegie's private army of 300 guards faced 10,000 strikers and things turned ugly soon. The Pinkertons (Carnegie's troops) were "defeated" but too many lives were lost.

Since Carnegie's little was defeated, he asked a bigger fish to help him and the governor sent 8,000 soldiers to arrest any union striker that opposed Carnegie. Finally, Carnegie's millions and corrupt politicians won, and the workers were forced to accept lower wages and more working hours. Those who rejected the forced deal were sent to prison.

Vance has a vested account balance in his employer-sponsored qualified profit-sharing plan of $40,000. He has two years of servi
Maurinko [17]

Answer: $5,000

Explanation:

Per the requirements of qualified plans that permit loans, the maximum amount that an individual can withdraw is whichever is lesser between $50,000 and 50% of their Vested Account Balance.

Vance in this scenario has a vested account balance of $40,000.

50% of that would be $20,000.

That means that he can be loaned $20,000. However, he already has an outstanding loan balance that must be accounted for of 15,000.

Subtracting those figures we have,

= 20,000 - 15,000

= $5,000

The maximum loan that Vance can take from the qualified plan is $5,000
