Answer 1

Answer:

the  price of the bond is $231,955,808

Explanation:

The computation of the price of the bond is shown below:

= Interest + principal

= ($280,000,000 × 8% × 6 months ÷ 12 months) × PVIFA factor at 5% for 40 years + ($280,000,000 × PVF factor at 5% for 40 years)

= 192,181,808+  $39,774,000

= $231,955,808

hence, the  price of the bond is $231,955,808
