Based on the inflation rate and the yield to maturity, the real rate of return on the bonds will be 5.23%.
<h3>What is the real rate of return?</h3>
This can be found by the formula:
= (( 1 + nominal Return) / ( 1 + Inflation rate)) - 1
Solving gives:

= 1.0523 - 1
= 5.23%

This is not a good idea as stocks are volatile.
Explanation:
One must never invest a lot of money in only one stock as the stocks are wont to change over time and gain or lose value.
If one wants a long term investment with at least some amount of safety they must be investing in stocks that grow consistently and then to break up the capital in small chunks and then invest them.
All of these can be invested in different shares in the market and then the shares would be more safe.
Even if one or two shares fall the others will be safe.
Answer:
a. Cash basis $15,000
b. Accrual basis $2,500
Explanation:
Under the cash basis of accounting, expenses are recorded or recognized in the books not necessarily when incurred but when cash is paid. This is not in line with the matching concept which requires that expenses be recognized the period it is incurred as well as the resulting revenue.
Hence, the $15,000 paid on January 1 would have been recognized as an expense for the two months ending February 28 using the cash basis.
Using the accrual basis, monthly expense
= $15,000/12
= $1,250
Hence advertising expense for 2 months
= 2 * $1,250
= $2,500
