Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Mr. Nomad's friend can engage in the activities described in Selections I and II only. A limited power of attorney gives Mr. Nomad's friend the authority to buy and sell securities on Mr. Nomad's behalf, but not to make any cash withdrawals. He would need a full power of attorney to be able to do so.

I remember that under the cash basis, we only count income when it's actually received, so I think we should just use the amount collected.
