Types of bonds
aliina [53]

Answer: 1. A . Treasury bonds are not completely riskless, since their prices will decline when interest rates rise.

2. A. The New York City government

3. B. Municipal bonds

4. A. An investor from Kansas that invests in a municipal bond issued by the State of Kansas will pay neither state nor federal taxes on the bond’s coupon payments

5. B. Treasury bonds

Explanation:

1. Treasury Bonds are known as the safest bonds in the world and so are generally considered risk-less. However this is not so as they still fall victim to Interest rate risk which is the risk that their prices will decline when interest rates rise because bond prices are inversely related to price.

2. The City of New York issued to bonds in question so it is a New York City Government bond.

3. Municipal Bonds are issued by a state, county or a municipality so the above is a Municipal bond as it was issued by the City of New York.

4. Municipal Bonds attract no Federal taxes and when buying a Municipal bond as a resident of the Municipality you are in, you will.not get charged the Municipal taxes either on the bond coupon payments.

5. Default risk is the risk that the issuer will not pay back. US Treasury Bonds are known as the safest in the world and have not been defaulted on in over a century. They therefore have the lowest default risk.

<u>Organizational policies</u> and procedures must also be developed comprehensively, and firstly complied with by the company's leadership, so that each employee feels ethically protected and has as an example how to act and work in that organization.

It is also necessary to have a<u> well-established communication system</u>, so that there is no noise and so that the information is shared in an ideal way.

Finally, <u>integrating ethical work with technologies</u> that make work easier and faster are some techniques that can help managers to maximize business success.
