FIP – First Important Priorities
It is important to get as many ideas as possible first and then start picking out priorities.
Different people have different priorities in the same situation
You should know exactly why you have chosen something as a priority
If it is difficult to choose the most important things, then try looking at it from the other direction: drop out the
least important and see what you are left with.
The ideas not chosen as priorities must not be ignored. They too are considered-but after the priorities.
List all the important
ideas you can find in Ch.
8 Sect. 3:
Why? Explain each of your selections of the most
important:
Liberty bonds were first utilized during the first World War to support the allied
cause in World War I. Subscribing to the bonds became a symbol of patriotic duty
in the United States and introduced the idea of financial securities to many
citizens for the first time. This allowed private citizens to purchase a bond to help
support the military effort. After the war, the bond could be redeemed for its
purchase price plus interest.
A Liberty bond will have a maturation date somewhere on the front on the bond.
A maturation date is the earliest someone can redeem the value plus
interest. Liberty Bonds from WWI do not continue to earn interest. The
redemption value is usually the face value of the bond plus any unused coupons
attached to the bond.
There were four issues of Liberty Bonds:
Apr 24, 1917 Emergency Loan Act authorizes issue of $5 billion in bonds at 3.5
percent.
Oct 1, 1917 Second Liberty Loan offers $3 billion in bonds at 4 percent.
Apr 5, 1918 Third Liberty Loan offers $3 billion in bonds at 4.5 percent.
Sep 28, 1918 Fourth Liberty Loan offers $6 billion in bonds at 4.25 percent.
