I thought corporations could open accounts, but I guess not?

Why would a general partnership be restricted? Seems odd!

Wait, can’t a 16-year-old have a custodial account?

A 16-year-old can't open an investment account, that's a fact.

I'm a little confused by this question. I'll need to double-check the rules around minors and investment accounts to make sure I have the right understanding before answering.

I'm pretty confident the answer is D. A 16-year-old would not be allowed to open an investment account on their own, even if they are an entrepreneur. The other options seem to be permitted under the rules.

Okay, let me think this through. A general partnership and a corporation can definitely open investment accounts, so those are out. The executor of an estate should be able to as well. That leaves the 16-year-old entrepreneur as the only one not permitted. I'll go with that.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review the rules around who can open investment accounts to make sure I get this right.

I’m leaning towards option D because I think minors usually can’t open investment accounts, but I’m not entirely confident.

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I think the executor of an estate can open an account, but I could be wrong.

I remember something about partnerships and corporations being able to open accounts, but I can't recall the specifics for executors.

I think the 16-year-old entrepreneur might not be able to open an account since they’re underage, but I’m not completely sure.

Okay, I got this. The first priority is to make sure the digital evidence isn't tampered with or damaged. So option B is the way to go - document everything with photos first, then decide if you need to capture live data. Removing power or taking the devices could risk losing important information.

If I recall, to ensure the hub is the designated router, you'd want to set its OSPF priority higher than the other remote sites. Definitely greater than 1, I think.
