Answer:

Interest will be $368

So option (B) will be correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given Markle purchased a ten year $10000 bond

So price of bond = $10000

Rate of interest = 4 %

Time = 336 days

We know that 1 year = 365 days

So
336days=(336)/(365)=0.9205year

So interest will be equal to
interest=(price* rate\ of\ interest* time)/(100)=(10000* 4* 0.9205)/(100)=$368

So option (B) will be correct answer
