Explanation / Answer

a)

Negotiable CD = 500000

Interest = 500000*5.5%*3/12 = 6875

Total Negotiable CD including interest = 506875

Market rate changes to = 6% p.a

3 month Market rate = 6%*3/12 = 1.5%

Current Market Value = 506875/(1+1.5%)

Current Market Value = $ 499384.24

b)

Negotiable CD = 500000

Interest = 500000*5.5%*3/12 = 6875

Total Negotiable CD including interest = 506875

Market rate changes to = 5.25% p.a

3 month Market rate = 5.25%*3/12 = 1.3125%

Current Market Value = 506875/(1+1.3125%)

Current Market Value = $ 500308.45
