Answer:
- Lena has a ORDINARY GAIN of $1,500 from the sale of the first equipment.
- Lena has a ORDINARY LOSS of $2,700 from the sale of the second equipment.
Explanation:
Lena sold the first equipment for $17,000, and that resulted in an ordinary gain = $17,000 - $15,500 = $1,500. This gain was due to a §1245 depreciation recapture.
Lena sold the second equipment for $5,500, and that resulted in an ordinary loss (§1231 loss) = $5,500 - $8,200 = $2,700.

Answer:
Consider the following information for three stocks, A, B, and C. The stocks' returns are positively but not perfectly positively correlated with one another, i.e., the correlations are all between 0 and 1. Expected Standard Stock Return Deviation Beta
A 10% 20% 1.0
B 10% 10% 1.0
C 12% 12%1.4
Portfolio AB has half of its funds invested in Stock A and half in Stock B. Portfolio ABC has one third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks.

Answer: A spiff
Explanation:
Spiff is actually a form of slang to refer to someone who receives an incentive for selling an item to customers on behalf of a vendor. This motivates the seller to push the vendor's items (sell them) onto its (seller's) customers. The incentive usually comes in the form of a bonus and is paid out immediately. 
In this question the gourmet mustard manufacturer is the vendor, and Beverly is the seller. Beverly receives $1 for every jar of mustard she sells, which is the bonus. This motivates her to keep selling these jars on behalf of the manufacturer (vendor). This payment is immediate, as she receives it everytime she sells a jar of mustard.
