Correct Answer
B. Bond Indenture

Explanation
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 contract is essential as it establishes the legal relationship between the parties involved and ensures that both parties adhere to the agreed-upon terms throughout the life of the bond.

D. Stated, coupon, or nominal rate

Explanation
The interest rate written in terms of the bond indenture is commonly referred to as the stated rate, coupon rate, or nominal rate.

C. Effective yield

Explanation
The actual interest a bondholder receives is the effective yield.

Correct Answer
A. Multiply the carrying value of the bonds at the beginning of the period by the effective interest rate.

Explanation
The effective rate of interest is calculated by multiplying the carrying value of the bonds at the beginning of the period by the effective interest rate. 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.

E. All of the above

Explanation
Common stock is a type of equity ownership in a company that represents a residual corporate interest. 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.

- C.
  
  A right to a voice in management
- D.
  
  A & C
Correct Answer
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.
