Refer to the financial statements of the home depot in appendix a. (note: fiscal 2016 for the home depot runs from february 1, 2016, to january 29, 2017. as with many retail companies, the home depot labels the period "fiscal 2016" even though it ends in the 2017 calendar year. the label "fiscal 2016" is appropriate because fiscal 2016 includes 11 months from the 2016 calendar year. the home depot explains its choice of fiscal period in note 1 to its financial statements.) how much inventory does the company hold on january 29, 2017? does this represent an increase or decrease in comparison to the prior year?

Which of the following is likely not a benefit of requiring a grand jury to listen to and examine all of the evidence against a person suspected of committing a serious crime and then independently deciding whether or not to hand down an indictment? 1.the grand jury system provides the accused another safeguard against being sent to trial and facing conviction based on flawed evidence. 2.the members of the grand jury are drawn from the community and are empowered to render independent decisions about whether or not the government has collected enough evidence to bring an individual to trial. 3.the grand jury’s decision can provide prosecutors insight into what is necessary to build a sufficient case if a similar crime is presented later. 4.the grand jury is impaneled to rubber-stamp prosecutors’ cases, which makes it possible for more cases to reach trial.
