Answer:
The bond that should pay the highest interest rate is:
d. a bond issued by a new restaurant chain.
Explanation:
This is based on the fact that the new restaurant chain is untested, has higher risk profile and the bondholders are assuming higher risks, and the bond cannot be compared to the bonds issued by the US government, New York State, and General Motors, in that order.  The new restaurant chain will be offering a higher rate of return than others because it is new to the bond market and would like to attract potential bond investors.   Without the higher rate, therefore, it will not be successful in the bond issuance.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answer is option 'B': The 24 hours that comprise a day
Explanation:
For comparison between 2 random variables only those values can be said to be identical that have the same values.
From the given options if we compare Joe and Bill Gates we conclude
1) The 2 person's are not identically limited by wealth as the wealth difference can be large.
2) Similarly they can have a vast difference in their knowledge.
3) Person that has larger wealth and knowledge will naturally have larger influence.
Now since the length of a day is 24 hours and this is a universal truth no matter what the circumstances we conclude that they both are limited by this parameter no matter whatever be the difference between the 2.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
A. An increase in the perceived profitability of Touchtech will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to rise.
B. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economy-wide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to decline
Explanation:
The price of the stock changes only because of the changes in the profitability of the firm. If the company is earning lower profits then the prices of the stock will fall and vice versa. So the option A is correct because increase in profitability increases the value of the shares.
So the main thing here is the profitability of the firm which is affected by the recession in the economy because during the recession period the profitability of the firm decreases and so the value of the stock decreases. So the option B is correct
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Annual withdrawal=  $57,032.02
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment (PV)= $450,846
Interest rate (i)= 12.65%
<u>To calculate the annual withdrawal, we need to use the following formula:</u>
PV= Cf / i
Cf= annual cash flow
450,846= Cf / 0.1265
450,846*0.1265 = Cf
Cf= $57,032.02
