b. Complete the table by calculating the ratio of Net General Bonded Debt to Assessed Value of taxable property and the Net General Bonded Debt per Capita. In addition, you learn that the average ratio of Net General Bonded Debt to Assessed Value for comparable-size cities in 2017 was 4.56 percent, and the average net general bonded debt per capita was $1,376. Based on time series analysis of your calculations and the benchmark information provided in this paragraph, is your assessment of the city's general obligation still the same as it was in part a, or has it changed?
