When the U.S. dollar appreciates relative to other world currencies,
i. the prices of all domestic stocks and bonds can be expected to increase.
ii. the prices of securities offered by manufacturers that import a lot of their parts can be expected to increase.
iii. an increase in the purchase of U.S. securities by foreign investors can be expected.
When the U.S. dollar appreciates relative to other world currencies, the prices of securities offered by manufacturers that import a lot of their parts can be expected to increase. This is because the dollar will buy more, so the parts will cost these firms less. All else equal, a decrease in expenses leads to increased cash flow, which leads to an increase in the prices of the securities offered by these firms. Not all domestic companies will benefit from the appreciation of the dollar. In particular, firms that export their products overseas may be hurt since their products will now cost the foreign consumer more in terms of their own country's currency, and they may seek another supplier. A similar argument exists for why Selection III is not correct. U.S. securities will be more expensive to foreign investors, who may decide to invest in other foreign markets.

Common stock and preferred stock differ in that:
Common stock and preferred stock differ in that preferred stockholders will receive their part of the proceeds if the firm is liquidated before the common shareholders receive anything. Neither preferred stock nor common stock dividends are legal obligations of the firm. Preferred stock typically pays a fixed dividend that does not vary with the firm's earnings, while the common stock dividend may.
Except in special circumstances specified in the preferred stock agreement, preferred shareholders have no voting rights.

Which of the following statements is most likely to be true in this scenario?
If Miss Piggy placed an order to buy the stock of Nutrisystem (NTRI) at $17.65, the statement most likely to be true is that she bought the stock for no more than $17.65.

Since the MaxCharge fund has a 5% front-end load and a 12b -1 fee that is 0.25% of its average net assets, any rear-end load, it may have, is limited to 3.25%. The maximum sales charge that is allowed is 8.5%, and this includes the front-end load, rear-end load, and 12b-1 fee. Since MaxCharge has a front-end load and a 12b-1 fee that totals 5.25%, its rear-end load is limited to 8.5% - 5.25% = 3.25%.
