Explanation / Answer

3)

Interest paid = semi annually, therefore

Interest = 175000* 8%*1/2 = 7000

Discounting rate = 10% *1/2 = 5%

Time period = 5 year *2 = 10 year

Value of the bond at the original date of purchase = interest * cumulative present value factor + face value * present value factor

= 7000* 7.7217 + 175000 * 0.6139

= 161484

ANSWER = D) 161484
