Suppose a aaa-rated company (which is the highest bond rating a firm can have) had bonds with the same maturities as the treasury bonds. estimate what you believe a aaa-rated company's yield curve would look like on the same graph with the treasury bond yield curve. (hint: think about the default risk premium on its long-term versus its short-term bonds.)

the yield risk curve for the aaa-rated corporate bonds will

the yield curve for the treasury securities.
what will be the approximate yield curve of a much riskier lower-rated company with a much higher risk of defaulting on its bonds?

the yield risk curve of a much riskier lower-rated company will be
the yield curve for the treasury securities and yield curve for the aaa-rated corporate bonds.

In ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance. to reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply. however, the supplement will not raise any worker's income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed. therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.which of the following, if true about ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial? (a) the government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.(b) neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than ledland currently has.(c) people who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.(d) the yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.(e) people sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.
