Answer: $3,704,040

Explanation:

The issue/ selling price of a bond is calculated by the formula:

= Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value

The coupon payments will be an annuity and in cash terms are:

= 8% * 4,500,000

= $360,000

Selling price:

= (360,000 * Present value of an ordinary annuity factor, 11%, 10 periods) + (4,500,000 * Present value discount factor, 11%, 10 periods)

= (360,000 * 5.889) + (4,500,000 * 0.352)

= $3,704,040
