Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Technically, a stock does not have a maturity date like a bond. Thus, the final sale of a stock by an investors is NOT fixed in time on a maturity date. An investor is free to choose his or her own selling point in time, and the point in time is not limited by a maturity date.
