    A bond indenture is a legal contract that outlines the terms and conditions of a bond. It includes important details such as the interest rate, maturity date, payment schedule, and any collateral or security provided for the bond. The bond indenture also specifies the rights and obligations of both the issuer and the bondholder.

This rate is specified in the bond indenture, which is a legal document outlining the terms and conditions of the bond.

    Explanation

This method takes into account both the principal amount and any interest accrued on the bonds, providing a more accurate measure of the true interest rate.

It is the most basic form of ownership in a corporation and bears the ultimate risk of loss while also receiving the benefits of success. Common stockholders generally have the right to vote on corporate matters and control the management to some extent. Additionally, common stockholders tend to profit the most if the company is successful. Therefore, all of the options mentioned in the question accurately describe common stock.

    D. A & C
    Explanation
    Preferred stock holders sacrifice the right to share in profits beyond the stated rate and the right to a voice in management. This means that while they may receive a fixed dividend or interest payment, they do not have the opportunity to participate in any additional profits that the company may generate. Additionally, they do not have the ability to influence or participate in the decision-making process of the company.
