View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct. Third lien debt is secured debt. It has a secured interest in the pledged assets and ranks higher than all other unsecured debts.

A is incorrect because a subordinate loan is an unsecured debt. Among the various creditor classes, these obligations have among the lowest priority of claims and frequently have little or no recovery in the event of default.

C is incorrect because senior unsecured bond is also an unsecured debt. It ranks highest among all the unsecured debts, but it ranks below secured debts.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. For the rating agencies, the main factor motivating the assignment of a rating is the probability of default. Notching is most likely to be used to address secondary factors such as the priority of payment in the event of default and the potential severity of loss in the event of default. These secondary factors are accounted for via notching the issue’s rating up or down relative to the issuer’s rating.

B is incorrect because this is a secondary factor that rating agencies can account for by notching the issue’s rating up or down relative to the issuer’s rating.

C is incorrect because this is a secondary factor that rating agencies can account for by notching the issue’s rating up or down relative to the issuer’s rating.

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”。
