Q--> 1. Explain clearly what does mean bond, types of bond, feature of bond and bond valuation.

1. Definition and Types:

● Bond: A loan instrument issued by a government or corporation to borrow money from investors.
Investors receive periodic interest payments and the original principal amount at maturity.

● Types of Bonds:

○ Government Bonds: Issued by federal, state, or local governments, considered generally low-risk.

○ Corporate Bonds: Issued by companies, with riskiness dependent on the company's creditworthiness.

○ Municipal Bonds: Issued by municipalities, exempt from federal income tax in some cases.

○ Zero-Coupon Bonds: Don't pay regular interest, sold at a discount to face value, providing the return at
maturity.

○ High-Yield Bonds: Offer higher interest rates but carry greater default risk.

○ Convertible Bonds: Can be converted into shares of the issuer's common stock.

2. Features:

● Maturity: Date when the principal is repaid.

● Coupon Rate: The fixed interest rate paid periodically.

● Yield: The total return on investment, factoring in coupon payments and price changes.

● Credit Rating: An assessment of the issuer's ability to repay the debt, affecting interest rates and risk.

● Callable: The issuer can redeem the bond before maturity under certain conditions.

● Puts and Calls: Some bonds have embedded options allowing investors to sell (put) or buy (call) the
bond at a certain price.

3. Bond Valuation:

● Price: Determined by supply and demand, influenced by interest rates, creditworthiness, and other
factors.

● Fair Value: Intrinsic value calculated using discounted cash flow analysis, considering future interest
payments and principal.

● Market Value: The actual price at which the bond trades in the market.
Q--> 2.State the difference between bond securities and stock securities.

Differences Between Bonds and Stocks:

● Type of Security: Bonds represent debt, giving investors a fixed-income claim on the issuer. Stocks
represent ownership, providing potential for capital appreciation and dividends.

● Risk: Bonds generally have lower risk than stocks, but returns are also typically lower.

● Return: Bonds provide regular interest payments and principal repayment at maturity. Stocks offer
dividends plus potential capital gains (or losses). Voting Rights: Bondholders usually don't have voting
rights in the issuer, while stockholders do.

Q--> 3.Explain what types of investment is more risky and risk free investment

Risk and Investment Types:

● Risk-Free Investment: Offers a guaranteed return with essentially no risk, like Treasury bills.

● Risk: The potential for loss of principal or lower returns. Higher expected returns typically come with
higher risk.

● Investment Types:

○ Low-Risk: Cash equivalents, Treasury bonds, investment-grade corporate bonds.

○ Moderate Risk: Stocks of established companies, high-yield bonds.

○ High Risk: Emerging market stocks, venture capital, options trading.

Q--> 4.Discuss clearly the difference between contingent liabilities, current liability and contingent
asset.

Contingent Liabilities, Current Liabilities, and Contingent Assets:

● Contingent Liability: A potential obligation that may or may not materialize, depending on future
events (e.g., lawsuits).

● Current Liability: An obligation due within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer (e.g.,
accounts payable).

● Contingent Asset: A potential asset whose existence and value are uncertain (e.g., potential tax
refunds).
Q--> 5.Explain what does mean stock,types of stock,feature of stock,stock exchange and stock valuation.

Stocks:

1. Definition and Types:

common stock in liquidation.

2. Features:

● Face Value: The par value of a share, often not relevant to market price.

● Market Price: Determined by supply and demand, reflecting investor expectations of future dividends
and growth.

● Dividend: A portion of profits distributed to shareholders, not guaranteed.

● Stock Split: Increases the number of shares outstanding, decreasing the price per share but not
affecting total value.

● Stock Repurchase: Company buys back its shares, reducing the number outstanding and potentially
boosting stock price.

3. Stock Exchange:

● Market Platform: Where buyers and sellers trade stocks.

● Major Exchanges: NYSE, Nasdaq, NASDAQ OMX Group.

4. Stock Valuation:

● Similar to bond valuation, considering intrinsic and market values.

● Intrinsic Value: Estimated using fundamental analysis, considering financial performance, growth
prospects, and other factors.

● Market Value: The actual price at which the stock trades. Security analysis is the in-depth examination
of individual securities (like stocks and bonds) or entire investment portfolios to assess their potential
value and risk.expand_more It's essentially like detective work for investors, piecing together clues from
various sources to arrive informed investment
