b. legal signer
c. notary public
d. trustee
sales tax amounts are generally established by which of the following? *
a. state and local rates
b. federal and state rates
c. federal and local rates
d. business and federal rates

Explanation:

First Question (Contract Signature Confirmation)

A notary public is authorized to verify and confirm signatures on legal documents like contracts. Executives manage organizations, legal signers sign but not confirm, and trustees manage trusts—none confirm signatures like a notary.

Sales tax is set by state and local governments (rates vary by state and local jurisdictions). Federal government doesn't set sales tax, and "business and federal" is incorrect. So state and local rates establish sales tax.

Answer:

c. Notary public
