    Corporate bonds

    • Offer a predictable return to investors in the form of interest or coupon payments

    • Maintain their value even in periods of changing interest rates

    Correct Answer
    A. Offer a predictable return to investors in the form of interest or coupon payments
    Explanation
    Corporate bonds offer a predictable return to investors in the form of interest or coupon payments. This means that investors can expect to receive regular payments from the bond issuer, which provides a level of stability and certainty. This is different from other types of investments, such as stocks, where returns can be more unpredictable. Additionally, corporate bonds maintain their value even in periods of changing interest rates. This is because the interest rate on the bond is fixed at the time of issuance, so even if market interest rates increase or decrease, the bond's value remains the same.

    If a person is diabetic and is applying for a new health care insurance policy, s/he might be most concerned with which of the following?

    • Preexisting conditions

    • Cancellation options

    Correct Answer
    A. Preexisting conditions
    Explanation
    A person with diabetes applying for a new health care insurance policy would likely be most concerned about preexisting conditions. This is because having diabetes is considered a preexisting condition, and it can affect the person's ability to get coverage or result in higher premiums. The individual would want to ensure that their diabetes is covered under the policy and that they would have access to the necessary treatments and medications. Cancellation options are also important, but the primary concern would be the coverage for preexisting conditions.

    The amount of damage that you will be required to cover if your car is involved in an accident that is your fault is your

    • Deductible.

    • Premium.

    Correct Answer
    A. Deductible.
    Explanation
    If your car is involved in an accident that is your fault, the amount of damage that you will be required to cover is known as your deductible. This is the portion of the repair costs that you are responsible for paying out of pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in. The deductible amount is typically agreed upon when you purchase your insurance policy.

    __________ covers damage to your car when you are at fault in an accident.

    • Collision

    • Liability

    Correct Answer
    A. Collision
    Explanation
    Collision insurance covers damage to your car when you are at fault in an accident. This means that if you cause a collision with another vehicle or object, collision insurance will help pay for the repairs or replacement of your car. Liability insurance, on the other hand, covers damage to other people's property or injuries to others when you are at fault.

    Which of the following is usually not offered as part of a benefits package to employees? Answer

    • Auto insurance

    • Retirement benefits

    Correct Answer
    A. Auto insurance
    Explanation
    Auto insurance is usually not offered as part of a benefits package to employees. While retirement benefits are commonly included in benefits packages, auto insurance is typically not provided by employers. This is because auto insurance is considered a personal expense and responsibility of the employee, rather than a benefit provided by the employer.

    _________ coverage covers damage to your car as a result of theft, fire, vandalism or other non-accident events.

    • Comprehensive

    • Umbrella

    Correct Answer
    A. Comprehensive
    Explanation
    Comprehensive coverage covers damage to your car caused by events other than accidents, such as theft, fire, vandalism, or other non-accident incidents. It provides financial protection for your vehicle in case of these types of incidents, ensuring that you are covered for any potential losses or damages.

    If you buy a term insurance policy with a conversion option, this means that you

    • Can convert your term policy to a whole life policy during the conversion period.

    • Can convert the policy to a larger term policy after one year.

    Correct Answer
    A. Can convert your term policy to a whole life policy during the conversion period.
    Explanation
    If you buy a term insurance policy with a conversion option, it means that you have the ability to convert your term policy to a whole life policy during the conversion period. This allows you to change your policy from a temporary coverage to a permanent coverage, providing lifelong protection and potential cash value accumulation.

    Auto insurance can be very expensive if you

    • Are a male under 25.

    • Have a new car.

    Correct Answer
    A. Are a male under 25.
    Explanation
    The given answer suggests that auto insurance can be very expensive if you are a male under 25. This is because insurance companies consider young male drivers to be a higher risk group due to their lack of driving experience and higher likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors. As a result, they may charge higher premiums to offset the potential costs associated with insuring this group. The fact that the person also has a new car may contribute to the higher cost as well, as newer cars tend to have higher repair and replacement costs.

    A(n) ___________ policy insures your possessions within a house or condominium that you do not own.

    • Renters insurance

    • Leasing insurance

    Correct Answer
    A. Renters insurance
    Explanation
    Renters insurance is the correct answer because it is a type of policy that provides coverage for personal belongings and liability protection for individuals who are renting a house or condominium that they do not own. This insurance policy helps protect the renter's possessions in case of theft, fire, or other covered events, and also provides liability coverage in case someone is injured while on the rented property.

    Which of the following is considered personal property for home insurance coverage?

    • Furniture

    • Tree

    • Swing

    Correct Answer
    A. Furniture
    Explanation
    Furniture is considered personal property for home insurance coverage because it is movable and not permanently attached to the structure of the home. Personal property refers to belongings that are owned by the homeowner and can be easily moved or removed from the property. Furniture, such as sofas, tables, and chairs, are examples of personal property that are typically covered by home insurance in case of damage or loss due to covered perils like fire, theft, or vandalism.

    Before you start to invest, you should ensure liquidity by owning___________.

    • Money market mutual funds.

    • Options and puts.

    Correct Answer
    A. Money market mutual funds.
    Explanation
    Investing in money market mutual funds can help ensure liquidity because these funds invest in short-term, low-risk securities such as Treasury bills and commercial paper. They are designed to provide investors with easy access to their funds and can be easily converted into cash. Therefore, owning money market mutual funds before starting to invest can provide a readily available source of cash for any immediate financial needs or emergencies.

    The factor that will not reduce your insurance rate is

    • Increasing your deductible.

    • Paying all speeding tickets promptly.

    Correct Answer
    A. Paying all speeding tickets promptly.
    Explanation
    Increasing your deductible is a factor that can potentially reduce your insurance rate because it means you are taking on more financial responsibility in the event of an accident. On the other hand, paying all speeding tickets promptly does not directly affect your insurance rate. While having a clean driving record can have a positive impact on your premiums, simply paying speeding tickets promptly does not guarantee a reduction in insurance rates.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    __________ coverage covers damage to your car as a result of theft, fire, vandalism or other non-accident events.

    • Comprehensive

    • Umbrella

    • Universal

    Correct Answer
    A. Comprehensive
    Explanation
    Comprehensive coverage is the correct answer because it specifically covers damage to your car that is not caused by accidents. This includes events such as theft, fire, vandalism, and other non-accident incidents. Comprehensive coverage provides financial protection for your vehicle in these situations, ensuring that you are covered for any damages that may occur. Umbrella and Universal coverage do not specifically cover these types of non-accident events, making them incorrect choices for this question.

    Which of the following is not true about the state financial liability laws?

    • They are the same for all states

    • They may require proof of insurance when drivers are involved in an accident

    Correct Answer
    A. They are the same for all states
    Explanation
    The statement "They are the same for all states" is not true about the state financial liability laws. Each state has its own set of laws and regulations regarding financial liability, including requirements for insurance coverage and proof of insurance in case of accidents. These laws can vary significantly from state to state, so it is important for drivers to be familiar with the specific laws in their state.

    The comprehensive or collision premium of a Rolls-Royce in relationship to a Chevy

    • Will be higher because a Rolls-Royce costs more than a Chevy.

    • Is a poor investment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Will be higher because a Rolls-Royce costs more than a Chevy.
    Explanation
    The comprehensive or collision premium of a car is determined by its value, among other factors. Since a Rolls-Royce costs more than a Chevy, it is expected that the premium for a Rolls-Royce would be higher compared to a Chevy. This is because the insurance company would need to cover a higher value in case of damage or loss. Therefore, the statement "will be higher because a Rolls-Royce costs more than a Chevy" provides a logical explanation for the higher premium.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    One of the most commonly used measures of inflation is the _________.

    • Consumer price index

    • Gross domestic product

    Correct Answer
    A. Consumer price index
    Explanation
    The consumer price index is a widely used measure of inflation because it tracks the changes in prices of a basket of goods and services typically consumed by households. It provides valuable information about the overall cost of living and helps in assessing the purchasing power of consumers. By monitoring changes in the consumer price index, policymakers and economists can make informed decisions regarding monetary and fiscal policies to control inflation and stabilize the economy.

    Before you start to invest, you should ensure liquidity by owning___________.

    • Money market mutual funds

    • Corporate bonds.

    • Options and puts.

    Correct Answer
    A. Money market mutual funds
    Explanation
    To ensure liquidity before investing, owning money market mutual funds is recommended. Money market mutual funds are investment vehicles that invest in short-term, low-risk securities such as Treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. These funds provide easy access to cash as they can be bought or sold quickly, ensuring that investors have readily available funds if needed. Therefore, investing in money market mutual funds helps to maintain liquidity and provides a safe and reliable option for investors.

    Which of the following would pay for medical care for people who were injured in your automobile as a result of an accident that was your fault?

    • Medical payments

    • Bodily injury liability

    Correct Answer
    A. Medical payments
    Explanation
    Medical payments coverage is an optional insurance coverage that pays for medical expenses for people injured in your automobile, regardless of fault. This coverage can help cover medical bills, hospital stays, surgeries, and other medical expenses resulting from an accident. It is different from bodily injury liability coverage, which pays for injuries you cause to others in an accident. Therefore, medical payments coverage would be the appropriate option to pay for medical care for people injured in your automobile as a result of an accident that was your fault.

    Indemnity health care plans have

    • More flexibility and choices than managed care plans.

    • Fewer health care professionals to choose from compared to HMOs.

    Correct Answer
    A. More flexibility and choices than managed care plans.
    Explanation
    Indemnity health care plans offer more flexibility and choices compared to managed care plans. This means that individuals who have indemnity plans have the freedom to choose their healthcare providers and are not limited to a specific network of doctors or hospitals. They can also receive care without the need for referrals from a primary care physician. In contrast, managed care plans, such as HMOs, often have restrictions on provider choices and require referrals for specialized care. Therefore, the correct answer is that indemnity plans offer more flexibility and choices.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Which of the following will you always have with common stock?

    • Voting rights

    • Dividends

    • Capital appreciation

    Correct Answer
    A. Voting rights
    Explanation
    Common stock typically grants shareholders voting rights, allowing them to have a say in the company's decision-making processes. While dividends and capital appreciation are common features of common stock, they are not guaranteed and can vary depending on the company's performance and policies. However, voting rights are a fundamental aspect of common stock and are generally always present.
