Answer:
the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
A yield to maturity can be defined as the bond's total rate of return required by the secondary market while the coupon rate is defined as the annual interest of a bond divided by its face value.
Hence, if the coupon rate on a bond is higher than the yield to maturity, the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.

Answer: c. Contribution margin ratio = 1 − Variable cost ratio
Explanation:
The Contribution margin ratio is defined as the difference between the sales price of a good and it's variable costs. It is expressed as a percentage.
The formula is,
Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales - Variable Costs / Sales
Breaking the formula down further we have,
Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales/ Sales - Variable Costs / Sales
Contribution Margin Ratio = 1 - Variable Costs / Sales
Variable Cost/Sales is the Variable Cost Ratio.
So Option C is correct.

Explanation:
§ 2-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) enforces the mirror image rule. The mirror image rules states that in order for a valid contract to be formed, the offeree (Office Supply) must accept all the terms included in the offer (by Blue Cross) and cannot modify or add any terms.
