Answer:

The answer is: C) decrease; increase

Explanation:

When the US government guarantees a corporation´s bonds, you know the government will pay you back whatever happens. The US government has one of the best reputations in the world. So that will immediately decrease the interest rate of the corporation´s bond since it basically becomes a risk free investment.

The US government will absorb the risk from the corporation´s bonds, so depending on the total value of the bonds, the interest rate on Treasury securities might increase a little. For example, if the total amount of the bond emission was $20 billion for a corporation like Citigroup, the interest rate might increase a few points. If the amount wasn´t very large, probably the effect will go unnoticed, but there´s no chance the interest rate will decrease.

ira [324]

Answer:

d.$38,448

Explanation:

The computation of the expected change in net income is shown below:

The net purchase for one day = $11,760

For 20 days excluding discount period i.e 10 days , it would be

= $11,760 × 20 days

= $235,200

The interest would be

= $235,200 × 10%

= $23,520

Now the gross purchase  is

= (Net purchase × total number of days in a year) ÷ (1 - discount rate)

= ($11,760 × 365 days) ÷ (1 - 0.02)

= $4,292,400 ÷ 0.98

= $4,380,000

The discount is

= $4,380,000 × 0.02

= $87,600

After tax rate, the change in net income would be

= ($87,600 - $23,520) × (1 - tax rate)

= $64,080 × 0.60

= $38,448

Which payment option can offer additional security like<br> fraud protection?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Credit Card

Explanation:

Most credit card company created a multiple steps verification for each transactions from your credit card as a form of fraud protection.

For example,

Most credit card companies will send a set of codes to your mobile phone every time an online transaction was made. The transaction wouldn't be approved unless you managed to input those codes. So, if your credit card is stolen, the people who stole it wouldn't be able to make online purchase unless they steal your phone along with it.

Another example. Most credit card companies can  block the card if they detected a suspicious activity. (for example, when it's used in multiple different cities compared to your usual city. )
