When you were born, a family friend gave you a certificate for 10 shares of stock in the xyz computer company that was worth $200. since your birth, the value of the xyz computer company has increased and your stock is now worth $500. if you sell your stock now, you will profit $300. the $300 profit is referred to as which type of income: a) earned income. b) unearned income. c) retirement income. d) deferred income. i'm guessing it's either a or b but i'm not sure because i'm an idiot : ).

The correct answer is B, Unearned Income.

As the name suggests, Unearned income is defined as an income which is not earned by doing work. This income is not generated by giving your performance or capabilities at some workplace. Rather this is an income which is earned just with the passage of time.

Like in this example, 10 shares of XYZ Computer Company was bought at the time of your birth for $200 and now they are of worth $500. It means with the passage of time, the value of the stock increases that generated a profit of $300. This is classified as unearned income.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
