Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Well-designed bond covenants are useful for reducing potential conflicts between stockholders and managers. b. Takeovers are most likely to be attempted if the target firm's stock price is above its intrinsic value. c. The bid price in a hostile takeover is generally above the price before the takeover attempt is announced, because otherwise there would be no incentive for the stockholders to sell to the hostile bidder and the takeover attempt would probably fail. d. Stockholders in general would be better off if managers never disclosed favorable events and therefore caused the price of the firm's stock to sell at a price below its intrinsic value. e. The efficiency of the U.S. economy would probably be increased if hostile takeovers were absolutely forbidden.

Which statement(s) is/are true about bond enthalpy? (a) Energy is required to break a bond. (b) $\Delta H$ for the formation of a bond is always a negative number. (c) Bond enthalpy is defined only for bonds broken or formed in the gaseous state. (d) Because the presence of $\pi$ bonds does not influence the geometry of a molecule, the presence of $\pi$ bonds does not affect the value of the bond enthalpy between two atoms either. (e) The bond enthalpy for a double bond between atoms $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ is twice that for a single bond between atoms $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$.
