Answer #1


Amount paid for the bond (Present value) = $6,426.4

Interest rate =13%

Time = 5 years

Calculate the amount to be received in 5 years -

Amount to be received = Present value (F/P, i, n)

Amount to be received = $6,426.4 (F/P, 13%, 5)

Amount to be received = $6,426.4 * 1.8424 = $11,839.99 or $11,840

The bond will pay $11,840 in exactly 5 years.

This is closest to $11,840.23.

Thus,

The correct answer is the option (c).
