Answer:

$458.11

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the present value is shown below;

As we know that

Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.05)^16

= $1,000 ÷ 1.05^16

= $458.11

Hence, the bond should be sell at a price of today is $458.11

Therefore the second option is correct

The same would be considered and relevant
