Answer:
$ 138961
Step-by-step explanation:
Bonds value= $150,000
Time of the bonds= 5 years
Interest are paid semi annually, hence 5 years of which payment are paid twice in a year= 10 payment in total
Interest rate of bonds= 10% (meaning 5% per payment)
Effective of bonds= 12% (meaning 6% per payment)
Actual interest to be paid
150,000 x 5/100 = 7500
To get the present value, we will use the effective rate of 6%
-Present value of Bonds of face value $150000 = 150000 x 0.5584= $83,761
-Present value of interest of $ 45000 = 7500 x 7.3601= $55,200
Total present value of bonds
=$ 83760 + $ 55200= $ 138961
The bond is a debt security, under which the issuer owes the holders a debt and (depending on the terms of the bond) is obliged to pay them interest (the coupon) or to repay the principal at a later date, termed the maturity date.
