Answer: $10693

Explanation:

The issuing price can.wb calculated thus:

Firstly, we'll calculate the annual interest which will be:

= $10000 × 8%

= $800

The present value of the interest will be:

= 800 × pvifa (6%,4yrs)

= 800 × 3.46511

= 2772.09

Pv of face value will be:

= 1000 × pvif(6%,4yrs)

= 10000*0.79209

=7920.90

Therefore, the issuing price will be:

= PV of interest + present value of face value

= 2772.09 + 7920.90

= 10692.99

= $10693

Therefore, issuing price is $10693.
