View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】（B）

【analysis】

While the company has a similar return on capital it has significantly higher leverage as well as lower EBITDA interest coverage ratio than its industry peers. It is likely that the company's credit risk will be above its industry peers.

【Answer to question 2】（A）

【analysis】

Building blocks of the yield curve are spread (risk premium) and a benchmark (risk-free rate of return). Expected inflation rate and expected real rate are components of the risk-free rate of return (i.e., the benchmark).

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無(wú)天才，高手都是來(lái)自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績(jī)，其成績(jī)背后無(wú)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”。
