Nobody's going to do all this for you, what do you think the answers are and why?

Are you taking a test?

Actually I think he DID post his answers and is asking for comfirmation. I merged them all into one. However, they don't look as clear, so Chyland, if you want to edit this one post to make each question and your answer clear please do so, but don't bombard the forum for a bunch of separate posts.

It sure does resemble an Accounting I test I had a couple of years ago.

The fist post you aaid that you can answer all the questuons so I did them one by one and given you my answer so will you be able to see if the are correct

this is not a test they are random question out of my acct. book but the answeres are not clear enough for me.

When I merged all the posts, it may not be clear what is the question and what is the answer. I suggest you edit that post to make it clearer.

chyland disagrees: I just want someone to look over my answers

What are you disagreeing with me for? I was supporting that you DID ask for people to look over your answers.

Sorry, Em, I've got to spread some rep before I can balance my accounting. ;)

Scott, he edited the original post, it was just multiple choice when I posted.

Thanks Em!

Is there not a study group at school you could become apart of? Its not wise to ask people online for answers to assignments. After all, would you trust just anyone's answers? For all you know I could either be a sixth grader failing math or an accounting professor.

I don't think we will see him/her again Learn. Looks like someone didn't want to bother with their reading assignment and wanted us to do their work.

I see there is a surge of this with fall semesters starting. The shame is, these people don't realize teachers are ahead of the curve and they look for their students on these kinds of sites.

I had a professor once who confronted a student in class. He caught him trying to cheat online and even had the ISP to prove it!

When I looked through the threads to make sure they were all related about half the questions where True/False and the rest he did provide an answer. The point is he did answer the questions and was just looking for confirmation.
