Answer:
E. have a sinking fund provision
Explanation:
Callable bonds are the one wherein the issuer/borrower has an option to redeem the bonds anytime after an initial stipulated period. In case of such bonds, if the issuer decides to redeem the bonds, the holders have to accept the redemption value.
Usually, when market rate of interest on such bonds falls below the coupon rate of such bonds, the issuer redeems such bonds. Thus, such bonds are beneficial to the issuer.
Call protection refers to the period within which such bonds cannot be called or redeemed.
Sinking fund provision refers to transferring a portion of money during the duration of such callable bonds to a separate reserve known as sinking fund, which is created for the purpose of redemption of funds. So when such bonds are to be called, the total money transferred to sinking fund reserve would be raised and used for payment to bondholders.
Creation of such a reserve helps the issuer avoid the pressure of lump sum payment as periodically funds are set aside for the purpose of redemption.

Answer:
Explanation:
This question puts together two different perspectives based on different goals and metrics: economics and ethics. In economics, self interest is the driving force and productivity is one of the metrics used by managers and shareholders in measuring their profit making. In ethics, doing good for people and creating social value is the goal. The results cannot be measured anymore in units of productivity.
Peter Drucker in his famous book "Management: tasks, responsibilities, practices" says : "To know what a business is we have to start with its purpose. Its purpose must lie outside of the business itself. In fact, it must lie in society since business enterprise is an organ of society. There is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer." That means to create value for society and not to maximize the profit.
I shall add a recent message sent by Richard Branson - the creator of Virgin Group - in his book "Screw business as usual" : Doing good can help improve your prospects, your profits and your business; and it can change the world." But with a condition: in that firm to exist an organizational culture based on positive values and not on profit maximization. In conclusion, ethics may impact positively on performance if and only if there is a managerial philosophy based on ethics and not on profit maximization, and on value creation. In this well-defined context profit and profitability are consequences and not driving forces of the whole business.
