Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Preferred stock usually has a stated or par value BUT UNLIKE bonds, this par value is not repaid at maturity because preferred stocks do not have a maturity date. The only time this par value would be paid to the shareholder is if the company ceases operations or retires the preferred stock. The cash dividend due each year is based on the stated dividend rate times the PAR VALUE of the stock.
