Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": technological advances such as those during the Industrial Revolution.

Explanation:

British Anglican clergyman and erudite Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) believed the<em> population would grow geometrically, while food production would grow arithmetically. In such a way scarcity will appear in the long run that will require a decrease in the birth rate</em>.

HPR = 0.371%

Explanation:

we must first determine the price of the bond in 1 year:

present value of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.25%)⁶ = $695.07

present value of coupon payments = $52.50 x 4.87894 (PV annuity factor, 6.25%, 6 periods) = $256.14

market price in 1 year = $951.21

since you bought the bond at face value (market value = YTM), the the holding period return is:

HPR = [(ending price - actual price) + dividends received] / actual price

HPR = [($951.21 - $1,000) + $52.50] / $1,000 = $3.71 / $1,000 = 0.371%
