What's on the list? I need to know so I can answer :)
The available options are:
A. I and III
B. I and IV
C. II and III
D. II and IV

C. II and III
Explanation:
IO tranche which is an acronym for Interest Only tranche is defined as a form of tranche which earns interest only from a secured loan which is derived from Principal Only tranche.
However, Interest Only tranche is quite different from a typical bond, simply because when market interest rate increases the rate of prepayment decreases, which in turn makes the rate of maturity to be longer. Thereby when interest rates increase, prices increase, and vice versa.
Hence the true statements are:
II When interest rates rise, the price of the tranche rises
III When interest rates fall, the price of the tranche falls

Answer:
C. Step variable cost
Explanation:
Fixed costs are those costs which are incurred anyways irrespective of the level of operation of a business or the volume of activity. For example rent of factory is a fixed cost which has to be incurred regardless of the production level.
Variable costs are those costs which vary with the level of production. e.g labor cost.
In this case, a T- shirt is given to every 100th customer. This kind of cost is step cost at the level of 100th customer. The number of T-shirts in a day would depend upon the no of patrons arriving each day i.e variable.
Thus, this is the case of a step variable cost which is incurred at discrete point i.e every 100th customer.
