Answer to Problem 1QQ

Option ‘d’ is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Option (d):

In the given scenario, D is the stock holder and Jenny is the bondholder. Both Dan and Jenny are creditors to Forest. However, the amount borrowed from Jenny owes a repayment with interest at some future date and is similar to investing in a bond. The amount that is given by Dan makes him eligible for the future payments for which he promised by Forest. This is similar to investing in a stock. Thus, option (d) is correct.

Option (a):

In the given example, Jenny is not the stockholder and Forest is not the bondholder. Jenny is the actual bondholder while Forest is the debtor. Thus, option (a) is incorrect.

Option (b):

In the given example, Jenny is not the stockholder and Dan is not the bondholder. Jenny is the actual bondholder while Dan is the stockholder. Thus, option (b) is incorrect.

Option (c):

In the given example, Dan is the stockholder. However, Forest is not the bondholder. Forest is the debtor. Thus, option (c) is incorrect.
