The correct answer is Only (A) and (C) are true
Explanation:
In a study or research, the control group is the one that does not receive a treatment. This means, in this case, the control group includes those who only drink the green tea without the herbs because they serve as a standard to measure the effects of the herbs. This makes statement A (The "only green tea" group serves as the control group) true; also, the group receiving the herbs is the experimental group.
On the other hand, a double-blind study is one in which the researchers and the participants ignore who is receiving the treatment, which guarantees there is objectivity. This occurs in the study presented because neither the researcher nor the subjects known who received the herbal mix. Thus, statement C (This study is double-blind) is true.
Finally, a study is classified as observational if there is not intervention but the researchers just observe participants to study a phenomenon. This does not occur in the study presented because there is an intervention through the herbal treatment, and therefore the study is not observational.

Solution :
Given :
The bonds offer a
of 4.5% per year
Tax rate = 10% = 0.10
Inflation rate = 2
=
+ 
= 2 + 4.5
= 6.5
=

= 

= 5.85
After tax real interest rate =
- 
= 5.85 - 2.0
= 3.85
= 7.0

=
+ 
= 7 + 4.5
= 11.5
=



= 10.35
= 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)
= 11.5 x 0.90
= 10.35
=
- 
= 10.35 - 7.0
= 3.35
Putting all the value in table :
Real interest Nominal interest After tax nominal After tax
rate rate interest rate interest rate
2.0 4.5 6.5 5.85 3.85
7.0 4.5 11.5 10.35 3.35
Comparing with the
, a
will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.
Answer: Bond holders
Explanation: In simple words, bondholders refers to the creditors of the organisation. The holders of the bond are not the owners as they are paid fixed interest and are not able to participate in the decision making of the company.
In the event of liquidation, bondholders are paid first because it is assumed that the decision makers should be punished for the liquidation and hence they should be paid at last.
