high to moderate during the rapid-growth stage of its life cycle.

failure decreases as it moves from its development stage through to its rapid-
growth stage.

T. 11. A nominal interest rate is an observed or stated interest rate.

T. 12. The “real interest rate” (RR) is the interest one would face in the absence
of inflation, risk, illiquidity, and any other factors determining the appropriate

F. 20. Liquidity premiums reflect the risk associated with firms that possess few
