Step-by-step explanation:


The list of the stocks and bond in order from the lowest default risk to the highest default risk is as follows:
Foreign government bond, preferred stock, common stock.
Government bonds are generally referred to as a low risk investment as they have a very low chance of default.
Preferred shared holders are considered first in the disbursement of dividend before common stockholder are considered. Thus, preferred stock is of less risk than common stock.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Cells are divided into two cell every 20mins, this implies that the half-life is 20mins
Initial population growth is 60cells
Growth rate r?
Population growth is modeled as
P(t) = Po•exp(rt)
Where,
Po is the initial growth at t= 0
Po= 60
P(t) is population at any time t.
Since the population doubles every 20mins(⅓hr)
Then, P(⅓) = 2×60 =120
Then, P(t) = 120cells
So, applying the formula
P(t) = Po•exp(rt)
120 = 60•exp(⅓r)
120/60 = exp(r/3)
2 = exp(r/3)
Take In of both sides
In(2) = r/3
Cross multiply
r = 3In(2)
r = 2.079 /hour
The growth rate is 2.079/hour.
