In Financial Planning, when figures are used for phase out limits, what does that mean? For example, for IRA deduction phaseout for active participants who are single is $56,000-$66,000. What if their income is $60,000...how is that calculated? I'm confused about phaseouts in general, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

a. At the time the short sale is mae, the taxpayer does not deliver the purchaser the shares sold short.

b. At the time the short sale is made, the taxpayer delivers to the purchaser the shares sold short.

c. At the time the short sale is made, the taxpayer may already own the shares sold short.

d. At the time the short sale is made, the taxpayer always already owns the shares sold short.

e. None of the above.

Thank you for your help!

The standard deviation is 16.71% and the mean return is 9.52%. What is the likelihood (probability) that the return earned on this may be negative? and why?

Thanks in advance!

Within the last 6 months, I noticed some weight gain and irregular periods. Long story short, I've been told that I have hypothyroidism. My doctor has prescribed me with Synthoid and I've been taking it for a week or so. I thought I would lose some of the excess weight but I have been feeling like I am gaining weight. Now reading on line, some people say that they gained weight! Is there a correct answer?

I was supposed to start my period on September 15. Now, 4 weeks late, I have taken 4 pregnancy tests and they all say negative. I did have stress at work and with my relationship, but I don't have any symptoms of pregnancy. I will go see my doctor this week, but does anyone have any advise? Please help.

I resigned from my job, gave my boss 3 weeks notice and worked through the last day, which was May 8, 2008. From my understandings, I was supposed to get my final check that cashed out my vacation hours and terminated my employment, however, I don't believe the paper work was completed. I have been receiving, twice already, a paycheck from my past employer with everything the same, showing that I worked my usual 80 hours per pay period.

Here's my question...since they have not given me my final check with my entitled vacation hours, should I say anything or just wait and see how long it takes them to figure it out, while I continue to get my former salary? Will I have to return the monies back to the company? Do they have to pay me extra, like a penalty, for not providing me with my final check?

Any advise would be appreciated!
