Answer:

(c) 10%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate  the yield to maturity is:

YTM= [C+ (F-P) / n] / [(F+P) / 2]

C = Coupon Payment : $80

F = Face Value : $1,000

P = Price : $950

n = Years to maturity: 3

YTM= [80+(1000-950)/3]/(1000+950)/2]

YTM=[80+16.67]/975

YTM=96.67/975

YTM= 0.1 = 10%

Construction expenditures:

Date                        Expenditures:

January 1, 2020       $ 1,780,000

April 1, 2020              2,530,000

May 1, 2020               4,490,000

June 1, 2020             4,720,000

Total expenditure $13,520,000

Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $4,300,000

Debts:

January 1, 2020, 9%, 3-year note payable = $3,650,000

January 1, 2020, 12%, 6-year note payable balance = $1,400,000

Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $451,500 ($4,300,000 * 10.5%)

3-year note payable = $328,500 ($3,650,000 * 9%)

6-year note payable balance = $168,000 ($1,400,000 * 12%)

Total interest to be capitalized = $948,000

The actual and standardized budgets will be equal when: 
A. The rate of inflation is zero
B. The economy is at full employment
C
alexira [117]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is B) the economy is at full employment.

Explanation:

Standardized budget which is also know as full employment budget , is used to measure the federal budget deficit or surplus , with the given tax rates and government spending. Here the assumption made is that the economy has full employment, and this is one of the major difference between standardized and actual budget . Also standardized budget would reflect any type of adjustment that has to be made in the actual budget. So therefore the only way that actual budget and standardized budget are equal is when they both have full employment present in the economy.
