Again, BOTH of you need to please read the homework posting guidelines:
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/announcement-font-color-ff0000-u-b-read-first-expectations-homework-help-board-b-u-font.html

If I could delete those answers I would. It's unethical to do people's homework for them. This isn't Yahoo Answers, sorry.

On the contrary, Ms. M; I looked it up...

bonkers (bong' kerz), adj. Slang. One who deems themselves to be exempt from a forum's homework-help rules.
