5. B. Treasury bonds
Explanation:
1. Treasury Bonds are known as the safest bonds in the world and so are generally considered risk-less. However this is not so as they still fall victim to Interest rate risk which is the risk that their prices will decline when interest rates rise because bond prices are inversely related to price.
2. The City of New York issued to bonds in question so it is a New York City Government bond.
3. Municipal Bonds are issued by a state, county or a municipality so the above is a Municipal bond as it was issued by the City of New York.
4. Municipal Bonds attract no Federal taxes and when buying a Municipal bond as a resident of the Municipality you are in, you will.not get charged the Municipal taxes either on the bond coupon payments.
5. Default risk is the risk that the issuer will not pay back. US Treasury Bonds are known as the safest in the world and have not been defaulted on in over a century. They therefore have the lowest default risk.

The answer is strategy execution
Explanation:
Strategy execution is the actual implementation of a strategic plan.
Answer:
Please see below.
Explanation:
a.
• Reasonable compensation package. Every stockholders would usually want a good return on their investments. One of the techniques that can be used by them is to offer good and reasonable compensation packages to the company's highly performing executives and managers. The aim is to spur them to act in the best interest of the stockholders and not themselves. This will also translate to better performance of the company.
• Firing of managers who don't perform well. If a company's stock is not performing well(does not appreciate), such would usually be tied to its board and managers. Stockholders are the owners of a company because their funds are being used to trade hence can threaten to replace or actually replace any manager who is not performing well. By so doing, the managers that are retained will be motivated to perform really well in order to retain their jobs hence translate to better company performance.
• Threat of hostile take over. Stockholders could also threaten a company's board of being taken over by a proven and well accomplished company , if their stock price does not improve overtime. When the managers or board realize that their job is being threatened, they will be motivated to act fast by ensuring that the company's stocks yield adequate return in the long run.
b.
What should be paramount to managers is how to ensure that their company's intrinsic stocks value(an estimate of the true value of a stock, that is premised on well calculated risk) are well maximized. The stockholders should also be carried along while this process is on going. By maximizing their stock's intrinsic value, such would bring about high value to the stocks, while as time goes on, the actual stock price will be much closer to the intrinsic value of the stocks.
