Answer:

The correct answer is: Duress.

Explanation:

Illegal actions sometimes can be excused in law if the defendant pleads a duress defense. Duress is the threat of harm someone receives to influence the individual's actions typically to commit a crime. The defendant must prove that there was no reasonable opportunity to escape. The only escape under that scenario was accepting the criminal's commands.

Answer:

Duress/Coercion/Compulsion

Explanation:

Duress or Coercion or Compulsion: This type of defense involves someone else threatening to use force or violence to get you to do something against your better judgment. Essentially, it means you were forced to commit a crime. In this case, Reuben want to entangle the elderly lady into the crime of bank heist by threatening to shoot her husband.

For a defense of Duress/Coercion/Compulsion: the person must be forced to commit the offence. The person under duress (illegal coercion usually through being threatened or the use of violence) must be present when the offence is committed. The person must believe that the threat will be carried out.

When we physically encounter a three-dimensional form, the tactile sensation we experience is its ________. Two-dimensional imag
babymother [125]

Answer:

When we physically encounter a three-dimensional form, the tactile sensation we experience is its <u>ACTUAL TEXTURE</u>. Two-dimensional images, however, have <u>IMPLIED TEXTURE</u>, which means the artist creates an effect that reminds us of our tactile memory of a real-life surface. Artists who wish to contradict our previous tactile experiences employ <u>SUBVERSIVE TEXTURE</u> in order to make us reconsider our preconceptions about the world around us.

Explanation:

Actual texture is combination of how an artwork looks and how it actually feels when someone touches it. Even paintings have texture and different artists use different painting techniques to create that texture.

Implied or simulated texture means that the artist is creating a visual effect of texture.

When artists use subversive textures, they are inventing textures by adding alternate materials.

You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 5.2 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 5.3 3-year
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

=\frac{  1000}{(1.054)^3}

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)
