Perhaps all three of you should take a look at the guidelines for posting homework:
Ask Me Help Desk - Announcements in Forum : Homework Help (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/announcement-font-color-ff0000-u-b-read-first-expectations-homework-help-board-b-u-font.html)
Especially those of you who have been around long enough to know better.

That was not homework morgaine, it was questions from my study guide for an exam I have next week.

It's still a good idea for you to attempt to do your own work first (graded or not), post what you think and let someone check it for you and let you know what may be incorrect. Looking at answers only does not necessarily mean someone understands where those answers came from or why. Doing the work and then having someone go over that work is a much better way to learn it.
And the two posters do not know that it's a study guide and should not be just answering things for people.
