Wait, wait, wait. Are we supposed to be learning finance or playing a guessing game? This question sounds like it was written by someone who's been watching too many Wall Street movies. I'm going with A, just to keep them on their toes.

Dude, this is a total gimme. The answer is clearly D. I mean, who doesn't know that MBS PTCs have higher yields than corporate bonds? It's like, finance 101 or something.

Hmm, I dunno. I'm leaning towards B. Both statements sound reasonable to me. Although, if I had to pick one, I'd go with Statement 2. The optionality and uncertainty factors seem like a pretty good explanation for the yield difference.
