    Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are similar to mutual funds as they also invest in a sector of the market or the stocks that make up an index, such as the Nasdaq100. ETFs are traded on stock exchanges, allowing investors to buy and sell them throughout the trading day at market prices. This provides investors with the flexibility and liquidity that mutual funds may not offer.

    • The priceof a stock in relation to the earnings per share

    • Both A and B

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    The P/E ratio for a stock represents both the price an investor is willing to pay for $1 worth of earnings and the price of a stock in relation to the earnings per share. This ratio is commonly used by investors to assess the valuation of a stock and determine if it is overvalued or undervalued. A higher P/E ratio suggests that investors are willing to pay more for each dollar of earnings, indicating a potentially overvalued stock. Conversely, a lower P/E ratio suggests that the stock may be undervalued.

    The trade-off made by making one choice instead of another is commonly referred to as a(n)

    • Trade decision

    • Opportunity cost

    • Personal choice

    Correct Answer
    A. Opportunity cost
    Explanation
    When making a choice, there is always a trade-off involved. This means that by choosing one option, we are giving up the opportunity to choose another option. This trade-off is known as the opportunity cost. It represents the value of the next best alternative that is forgone when a decision is made. In other words, it is the cost of the missed opportunity. Therefore, the term "opportunity cost" is the most appropriate explanation for the given correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. Face value
    Explanation
    The par value of a bond represents its face value, which is the amount that the bondholder will receive at maturity. It is the amount that the bond issuer promises to repay to the bondholder. The par value is typically stated on the face of the bond certificate and is used to calculate the interest payments that the bondholder will receive over the life of the bond.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which of the "five C's of credit" require that a peson's assets exceed his or her liabilities?

    • Capacity

    • Capital

    • Collateral

    Correct Answer
    A. Capital
    Explanation
    Capital is one of the "five C's of credit" that require a person's assets to exceed their liabilities. Capital refers to the financial resources that an individual or business has available, such as savings, investments, or equity in property. Lenders consider capital when assessing creditworthiness because it indicates the borrower's ability to repay the loan if their income or cash flow is insufficient. Having a higher capital-to-liabilities ratio demonstrates financial stability and reduces the risk for the lender, making it more likely for the borrower to be approved for credit.
