You own a bond that has an 8 percent coupon and matures 8 years from now. You purchased this bond at par value when it was originally issued. If the current market rate for this type and quality of bond is 8.25 percent, then you would expect

C) to realize a capital loss if you sold  the bond at the market price today.

Explanation:

Your bond will sell at a discount since the market rate is higher than the bond's coupon rate. When a bond sells at a discount its market price is lower than its face value. Since you purchased the bond at its face value, and you sell right now, you will receive less money than what you paid for it.

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
