Respuesta :

Answer:

Interest will be $368

So option (B) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given Markle purchased a ten year $10000 bond

So price of bond = $10000

Rate of interest = 4 %

Time = 336 days

We know that 1 year = 365 days

So [tex]336days=\frac{336}{365}=0.9205year[/tex]

So interest will be equal to [tex]interest=\frac{price\times rate\ of\ interest\times time}{100}=\frac{10000\times 4\times 0.9205}{100}=$368[/tex]

So option (B) will be correct answer
