Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Interest rates affect the value of bonds when they are sold to investors. If the market rate of interest is higher than the rate of interest offered by a bond, then investors will purchase the bond only at a discount. A discount means that a bond is selling for less than its face value. The amount of the discount is the difference between the face value of the bond and the selling price of the bond. The unamortized discount is subtracted from the face value of the bond to calculate the bond's carrying value. Interest expense is increased by amortization of a discount.

If the market rate of interest is lower than the rate of interest offered by a bond, then investors will pay a premium for the bond. A premium means that a bond is selling for more than its face value. The amount of the premium is the difference between the selling price and the face value of a bond. The unamortized premium is added to the face value of the bond to calculate the bond's carrying value. Part of each interest payment is paying back the premium to bondholders, so amortization of a premium decreases interest expense.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
