Respuesta :

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

a. In this part, we need to calculate the present worth using the formula to calculate the sale price of the bond.

As the coupon rate = 10% per year

So,

The Annual dividend will = 2000 = 10% x 20,000

19000 = 2000 (P/A, 14%,4) + B(P/F,14%,4)

19000 = 2000 (2.9137) + B (0.592)

Solving for B = Desired sales price of the bond

B = [tex]\frac{19000 - 5827.4}{0.592}[/tex]

B = 22251

b. Part b of this question is to solve using GOAL SEEK feature of a spreadsheet so, I have attached it in the attachment. Please refer to the attachment for the solution of part b.
