Hi good morning the previous questions have been completed by you all.
Please answer question 6 & 7 after reading the scenario thank you. Question at the end
Stephanie Carter has been gifted a sum of $50,000 by her grandparents on completing her graduation successfully. She is a fresh finance graduate and is excited to invest some money in the capital market, for which she intends to use the gifted sum of $50,000.
