Answer:

The difference between stocks and bonds is that stocks are shares in the ownership of a business, while bonds are a form of debt that the issuing entity promises to repay at some point in the future. In general, though, bonds offer a guaranteed payback, and stocks do not.

A bond is a debt instrument. The company or government issuing it borrows your money and pays you a fixed amount of money for the use of the loan you have made available to the company or government. The selling price is usually what the face value of the bond is, but this can vary according to interest rates determined by the Federal Reserve.

A stock is ownership. You own a fraction of the company you've invested in. Sometimes a company pays a dividend. That means that the company has excess funds and decides to pay its shareholders a fraction of what the company brings in.  When you buy a stock, you expect to sell it at a higher price than what you bought it at. That's called a capital gain. It's another source of income.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statements
salantis [7]

Answer:

a. The demand curve facing a monopolistic competitor in a market where all producers charge different prices becomes less elastic when it engages in international trade - Disagree

This statement is not true. If a monopolistic competitor engages in international trade, it will meet more competition, meaning that the audience (demand) that it has is more sensitive to prices, because they have more options available.

b. According to the gravity equation, countries closer to each other trade more - Agree

The gravity equation tells us that the volume of international trade is correlated with geographical proximity and economic size. That is to say, the closer and larger two economies are, the more international trade they engage with each other.

c. The only gain from trade in monopolistic competition in trade is lower prices - Disagree

Gains are the most important in lower prices, but there are also gains in competitiveness and quality.

d. The closer to 1 the index of intra industry trade is, the greater the difference between exports and imports of the same goods. - Disagree

An index of intra industry trade of 1 indicates that the country imports and exports roughly the same amount for a particular type of goods (the goods that belong to that industry). Hence, the statement is not true.
