Answer: A. 101

Explanation:

Amortization is done on the premium of the bond if elected to be done by the owner.

Bonds at par are worth 100 so a 102 bond has a premium of 2.

If amortized, this premium will have to be amortized over the period till maturity which in this case is 4 years.

Amortization per year = 2 points / 4 years

= 0.5

In 2 years the amortization would therefore be 1 point.

Cost basis of Bond = 102 - 1

= 101

Answer: d. founder: second-stage entrepreneur

Explanation:

The founder is the person who initiates the business therefore John in this scenario is the founder of the business.

A second-stage entrepreneur is the person who takes over the business after the company leaves its initial startup phase. As Larry now runs the business even though John founded it, Larry would rightly be classified as a second-stage entrepreneur as he runs the business after the startup phase where John founded it.
