Answer to Question 1

Stocks represent ownership of the issuing company, whereas bonds are a debt of the issuing company. Because stocks represent ownership of a company, a stockholder has a claim on (part) of the company's profit. Bondholders, however, have no claim on the company's profit. Instead, they have a promise by the company to pay them specified amounts of money at specified dates in the future.

Answer to Question 2
