Answer:

Total $46,319.9565

Explanation:

We need to calculate the value of the present value of the bond payment

and the maturity using the current market rate

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]

C 2500 (50,000 x 0.10/2)

time 10 (5 years 2 payment per year)

rate 0.06     (12% annual --> divide by 2 to convert semiannual)

[tex]2500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-10} }{0.06} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $18,400.2176

[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]

Maturity 50000

time 10

rate           0.06

[tex]\frac{50000}{(1 + 0.03)^{10} } = PV[/tex]

PV   $27,919.7388

PV bond interest payment  $18,400.2176

PV maturity payment       $27,919.7388

Total $46,319.9565
