Answer:

$5,641

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the price of a consol is shown below:

Price of a consol is

= Payment done annually ÷ market interest rate

= $220 ÷ 3.9%

= $5,641

We simply divided the payment done annually by the market interest rate so that the price of a consol could come and the same is to be considered

Hence, the price of consol is $5,641
