Consider two bonds, A and B. Both bonds presently are selling at their par value of $1,000. Each pays interest of $120 annually. Bond A will mature in five years, while bond B will mature in eight years. If the yields to maturity on the two bonds change from 12% to 10% a. Both bonds will decrease in value but bond B will decrease more than bond A
b. Both bonds will increase in value but bond B will increase more than bond A
c. Bond A will increase in value, but Bond B will decrease in value.
d. Both bonds will increase in value but bond B will increase more than bond A
e. Both bonds will increase in value but bond A will increase more than bond B

The answer is "Option b"

Explanation:

The longer its maturity, therefore higher the rise in prices as the interest rate changes, therefore higher the value from both bonds, but bond B is greater than bond A.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
