Extracted text: 1. Financial institutions in the Canadian economy Suppose Charles would like to invest $7,000 of his savings. One way of investing is to purchase stock or bonds from a private company. Suppose NanoSpeck, a biotechnology firm, is selling stocks to raise money for a new lab-a practice known as finance. Buying a share of NanoSpeck stock would give Charles the firm. In the event that NanoSpeck runs into financial difficulty, will be paid first. Suppose Charles decides to buy 100 shares of NanoSpeck stock. Which of the following statements are correct? Check all that apply. The price of his shares will rise if NanoSpeck issues additional shares of stock. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an example of a stock exchange where he can purchase NanoSpeck stock. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economy-wide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Charles's shares to decline. Alternatively, Charles could invest by purchasing bonds issued by the provincial government. Assuming that everything else is equal, a bond issued by a provincial government most likely pays a interest rate than a corporate bond issued by an electronics manufacturer.
