Answer: b. 10 year treasury notes

Explanation:

All options listed are backed by the US Government so the couple will not have to worry about any of these options not paying them in time for their kids to go for college.

The best option would be the 10 year Treasury notes because the other options either mature way sooner than the 15 required years ( treasury bills mature in a year) or after the required 15 years ( 20 and 30 year treasury bonds).

When the 10 year note matures in 10 years, the proceeds if not enough, can be further invested in a 5 year note thereby ensuring that the payment for college will be received in 15 years.

Who was your most difficult customer?
jeka57 [31]

Answer: when I was working at AXA as a Financial Advisor, my most difficult clients or customers are the SKEPTICAL CUSTOMERS ( their ask much questions and always doubt everything you say).

one of the days I never meet a clients need, was the day a client wants to liquidate his money market investment ( it's a fixed account where clients deposit money and expect good returns or interest when ever they want to cash out the money). The clients wants his money immediately, but at that moment we had some Network issue, and claims has to be posted before liquidation can be done. I called the head office to inform them the issue on ground, as they work to rectify it, I took the client to our lounge room, I bought him ice cream and cake, we ate together and I cracked some jokes, we laughed together as we wait for the Network issue to be resolved,

Customers satisfaction is actually difficult when it comes to large number, I always have a note book, to write down appointment and discussions with customers, so it will be easy for me to satisfy everyone according to what we have discussed earlier. When I have much work to do per hour, I have to inform them on how each issue will be treated accordingly, as their patiently wait.

The last time I apologized to someone was few hours ago, I mistakenly stepped on someone's foot in a public transport, I just have to apologize immediately.
