Answer:
YTM = 6.42%
Explanation:
current market value = $1,000 x 98% = $980
n = (15 - 2) x 2 = 26
coupon = $1,000 x 6.2% x 1/2 = $31
face value = $1,000
YTM = [coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = [31 + [(1,000 - 980)/26]} / [(1,000 + 980)/2]
YTM = (31 + 0.77) / 990 = 31.77 / 990 = 0.03209 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.641818 = 6.42%

Answer:
10,064 bonds
Explanation:
Given:
Amount to be raised = $2,800,000
Par value (FV) = $1,000
Maturity (nper) = 20×2 = 40 periods
Yield (rate) = 6.49 ÷ 2 = 3.245% or 0.03245
Coupon payment is 0 as it's a zero coupon bond.
Assume it's compounded semi-annually. 
Calculate the price of the bond today using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)
Price of bond is $278.23
PV is negative as it's a cash outflow.
Number of bonds to be sold = Total amount to be raised ÷ Price of bond
                                                 = 2,800,000 ÷ 278.23
                                                 = 10,064 bonds
Company should sell 10,064 bonds to raise $2.8 million

Answer: a. appropriations exceed estimated revenues
Explanation:
A Budgetary Fund Balance is simply an account that Government agencies and Departments have to calculate the difference between expected inflows and Outflows for the period that a budget covers. 
It is a temporary account with it's balance going to the General fund. If it is debited in the General fund then that means that Appropriations approved for the period are more than the revenues expected. The reverse is true.
