Answer:
preferred habitat
Explanation:
According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.
In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes
The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate
Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium
According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.

Explanation:
1. Times Interest Earned ratio
Measures how well a company is able to cover it's debt obligations using it's earnings.
The formula is simply,
= Earning before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense
Therefore,
Times Interest Earned ratio = 116/37
= 3.14
HHF's times interest earned ratio is Option B, 3.14.
2. Debt to Equity Ratio
This ratio compares the debt used to fund a company vs it's equity. It measures how much of either way used to fund the company.
The formula is,
= Total Debt / Total Equity
= 540/484
= 1.12
HHF's Debt to Equity ratio is 1.12, Option C.

Answer:
40
Explanation:
Batches of apples produced in one hour = 35/100 = 0.35
Batches of peaches produced in one hour = 70/100 = 0.70
total hours it would take to produce 15 batches of apples = 15 / 0.35 = 42.86 = 43 hours
this would leave (100 - 43) 57 hours to make peaches
Batches of peaches that can be made in 43 hours = 57 x 0.7 = 39.9 = 40 batches
