Answer:

B) $1,132,895

Explanation:

If the CPI = 15.2 in 1931, and in 2012 it was = 229.6, then President Hoover was making a fortune = (229.6 / 15.2) x $75,000 = $1,132,895, and he was a terrible president, one of the worst ones in all history.

In 2012 when President Obama was in office, he made around $400,000 and he was a much better president.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

  • Rural Economic and Community Development (RECD)
  • VA
  • FHA
  • Cal-Vet

And this is the correct answer:

Rural Economic and Community Development (RECD)

Explanation:

Of the four options listed in the question, the Rural Economic and Community Development is the most appropriate.

The RECD is a program that helps rural communities set up businesses and proper through loans, financial help, grants, technical assistance, and so on. This would be the best option for Wallace and Melissa to obtain a loan.

The VA and Cal-Vet are agencies aimed at veterans, and Wallace and Melissa are not veterans.

The FHA would also be an option, but as it is not specifically designed for rural communities, it's best if Wallace and Melissa go to the RECD first.
