Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Face Value of the bond = $4000

The fixed rate of interest is r = 10%

If f Jennifer were not to cash in the bond tomorrow, it means she have the value of $4000 after 4 years. But tomorrow she were to cash, so the interest she lose is:

I = FV*r = 4000*10% = 400
