Steven watched the island get bigger as they approached. Now he could see buildings and roads. He saw that they were approaching

a small island beside it that had an airport. He twisted in his seat, anxious for the plane to land and his family's vacation to begin in the Galapagos Islands.
Steven's parents were both scientists who were researching the endangered pink fairy armadillo, a species found in Argentina. Steven, his brother, Nick, and his parents had just spent a month living in a tent on the outskirts of the rain forest in Argentina. Because the family traveled so much, Steven and his brother attended school online. Doing homework in the humid rain forest with bugs bigger than hamburger buns flying around and an internet connection that kept cutting out was not Steven or Nick's idea of a good time. They pressed on since they knew how important it was to stay in school, especially if they wanted to be scientists just like their parents. As a reward for putting up with the uncomfortable stay in the rain forest, their parents had planned a family vacation to the Galapagos Islands once their research was complete. The boys were so excited for this new adventure since they had never been to this area of the world before.

How does the narrator of the story help the reader learn how Steven feels about the trip?

a By using a vivid description to show Steven's excitement as they approach the island.
b By telling the reader that Steven wants to be a scientist like his parents.
c By telling the reader that Steven is not looking forward to their vacation.
d By telling the reader that Steven worked hard to plan this vacation for his family.

Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wan
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Logan Horse Ranch

The most accurate is:

e. None of the above are correct

Explanation:

Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible.  Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour.  With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct.  This leaves only option E as the most accurate.

A useful way of standardizing financial statements is to choose a ____ and then express each item relative to the _____.
bulgar [2K]

The most useful way of standardizing financial statements is to choose a _<u>base year</u>,_ and then express each item in the period under review relative to the _amounts____ in the base year.

<h3>What are comparative financial statements?</h3>

Comparative financial statements compare a particular financial statement with previous statements. Previous financial statements are presented in side-by-side columns with the latest figures. With this, investors are able to track a company's progress over some periods and compare the company's financial results and performance with its industry competitors.

Thus, financial statements can be compared using financial ratios, which express the relationships between the various items within a financial statement, or using a base year.

Which characteristic describes the privatization of Social Security?
aalyn [17]
<span>The characteristic that describes privatization of Social Security is option C) enables Americans to invest their Social Security Contributions in the stock market. This is the most accurate option but still not wholly accurate. There are different proposals for privatizing. Most would have the existing funds used to buy into the market and then the individual person would have different options for how their own funds were then handled within the market. For instance they could take over control of their fund and buy/sell their various shares. Or they could move their shares to be handled by an investment company, or even just leave them in the original shares that were bought by the government during the transition to privatization. Bottom line, the individuals would have some control of there shares in the stock market.</span>
