Respuesta :

Answer:

E. 875.38

Explanation:

The computation of the price of the bond today is as follows

Given that

Future value = $1,000

PMT = $1,000 ×8% ÷2 = $40

NPER = 10 × 2 = 20

RATE = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%

The formula is given below:

= -PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula the price of the bond today is $875.38

Here the present value formula is applied to determine the same

Therefore the last option i.e. E is correct
