Answer:
Explanation:
first will need to calculate the Fv future value of this CD
Fv = Pv ( 1 + R )^n n = 4 /12 = 0.333333, r, rate = 4.5/100 = 0.045
Fv = $ 630000 ( 1+ 0.045)^0.33333 = $ 639311.69
a) the current value at 5 % Pv = Fv / ( 1+r)ⁿ
Pv = $ 639311.69 / ( 1.05)^0.3333 = $ 628998.41
b) the current price at 4.25% = $ 639311.69 / ( 1.0425)^0.3333 = $ 630503.20
