<span>For statement 1; Government provided housing, this may be costly but the way that the people are provided with houses can decrease the number of homeless people. For statement 2; Tax deductions to renters, this has been going on for thousand years, taxes are used to provide services to people if the government properly used it. For statement 3; Tax breaks to construction companies who provide affordable housing, this is common to developers who intend to maximize their profit and the available area for people whose income is not that high. I would suggest statement 3.</span>

Chris purchased a 10 year 100 par value bond where 6% coupons are paid semiannually. Cheryl purchased a 100 par value bond where
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Chris paid $109.68 for his bond. Since he paid a premium for the bond, the YTM is lower than the coupon rate.

Explanation:

yield of Cheryl's bond is 6% since she purchased it at par and the bond's coupon is 6%

if Chris's bond yields 80% of Cheryl's, it will yield 6% x 0.8 = 4.8%

we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to find the market price of Chris's bond:

2.4%(semiannual) = {3 + [(100 - MV)/20]} / [(100 + MV)/2]

0.024 x [(100 + MV)/2] = 3 + [(100 - MV)/20]

0.024 x (50 + 0.5MV) = 3 + 5 - 0.05MV

1.2 + 0.012MV = 8 - 0.05MV

0.062MV = 6.8

MV = 6.8 / 0.062 = 109.68

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Contribution margin = $200,000

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expense

Number of books = $880,000 ÷ $55

=16,000

Gross margin  = 340,000

Variable selling expenses = 16,000 × $6
