View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Instruments that are infrequently traded and expensive to carry as inventory (e.g., very large blocks of stock, real estate properties, fine art masterpieces, and liquor licenses) are executed in brokered markets. Organizing order-driven markets for such instruments is not sensible because too few traders would submit orders to them.

A is incorrect. In quote-driven markets (also called price-driven, dealer, or OTC markets) customers trade with dealers, and the instruments traded are mostly bonds, currencies, and spot commodities.

B is incorrect. An order-driven market follows an order matching system run by an exchange or a broker using rules to arrange trades submitted by traders.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. Convertible preference shares tend to exhibit less price volatility than the underlying common shares because the dividend payments are known and more stable.

B is incorrect. An opportunity to receive additional dividend if the company’s profits exceed a pre-specified level is the benefit that accrues to the holders of participating preferred shares, not convertible preference shareholders.

C is incorrect. Preference dividends are fixed but, unlike interest payment on debt, they are not contractual obligations of the company.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
