Answer:
- 8 months for the first interest
- 6 months for the second
Explanation:
The interest is to be paid semi-annually which means that it accrues for 6 months. However, the bond was issued on May 1, 2020 which is 8 months before the first interest payment on January 1, 2021 so the January payment will have to cover for those months as interest starts to build immediately the bond is purchased.
The second payment on July 1, 2021 will cover the period of 6 months between January 1 and July 1, 2021.

Answer:
inflation rate = 17.5 percent per year ⇒ it will take 4 years to double
inflation rate = 35 percent per year ⇒ it will take 2 years to double
inflation rate = 3.5 percent per year ⇒ it will take 20 years to double

70 / 35 = 2 years
70 / 3.5 = 20 years
