【Answer to question 1】C
【analysis】
C is correct. The annualized standard deviation of the sovereign bond market in terms
of the developing country’s currency is not part of the equity premium calculation.
A is incorrect because the annualized standard deviation on a developing country’s
index is part of the country’s equity premium.
B is incorrect because the sovereign yield spread is part of the country equity premium.
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
B is correct. By taking on fixed obligations, such as debt (including debentures) and longterm leases, a company increases its financial risk. Dividends will not increase financial risk.
A is incorrect because the use of debentures (one type of bond) is directly associated
with financial risk.
C is incorrect because the use of long-term leases is directly related to financial risk.
