Bonds for which the owners’ names are not registered with the issuing corporation are called: a. bearer bonds. b. term bonds. c. debenture bonds. d. secured bonds.

Answer: a. True Explanation: Bonds are debt securities issued by companies, governments, or other entities that allow them to borrow money from investors. When investors buy bonds, they are essentially loaning money to the issuer, who agrees to pay them back the principal amount plus interest over a set period of time. By issuing bonds, companies can raise large amounts of capital without having to give up ownership or control, as they would if they were to sell stocks. Therefore, the statement "Bonds allow a company to borrow large sums of money from many different investors" is true.
