Let's break down each of Helen's financial goals and identify one attribute that corresponds to each goal.
1. Create an emergency fund by next fall:
- This goal specifies the action (creating an emergency fund) and also includes a time frame (by next fall).
- As such, a relevant attribute for this goal is timely.
2. Save $50 per month to purchase a new guitar:
- This goal outlines a specific saving amount ($50 per month) and is aimed at a particular purpose (to purchase a new guitar).
- Hence, a relevant attribute for this goal is measurable.
3. Invest $130 in company stock:
- This goal states a specific investment amount ($130) and the target (company stock).
- Therefore, a relevant attribute for this goal is specific.
Thus, the matching attributes for each goal are:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ Goal } & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ Attribute } \\
\hline Create an emergency fund by next fall. & timely \\
\hline Save \$50 per month to purchase a new guitar. & measurable \\
\hline Invest \$130 in company stock. & specific \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
