Answer:
- The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income.
- Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.
Explanation:
First part of this question reads:
In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.
The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.
When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
Answer: c. the degree that businesses rely on each other for information and decision making.
Explanation:
Information Technology has enabled firms of all sizes and types to be able to access information that they need for themselves instead of having to rely on third-party providers that would provide data to them at a high cost.
This has enabled these businesses to rely less on other companies for decision making as well as become more efficient at it because they are able to use varied sources of information not just what they would have acquired from other companies.
Answer: Gwen should report a $3,000 long-term capital gain in her income tax return.
In this question the price paid by Gwen’s mother for the shares is irrelevant because of her death.

Gwen’s gain from selling the shares is:
Gwen inherited the shares on (21st October 2015) and held the shares until (3rd july 2017), so she held the shares for more than one year after inheriting it. So, she will report a long-term capital gain on her income tax return.
