Answer:

Market value of Katie Pairy Fruits bonds: $3,952.40

Explanation:

To know the current market  value of the bond we will calcualte the present value of the coupon payment and the present value of the maturity:

The coupon values will be done using ordinary annuity:

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]  

Coupon payment: $450  

time 17  years

rate 0.12  (we use market rate)

[tex]450 \times \frac{1-(1+0.12)^{-17} }{0.12} = PV\\[/tex]  

PV $3,588.29  

and the maturirty with the present vlaue of a lump sum  

[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

Maturity $2,500

time 17  years

rate 0.12  (market rate)

[tex]\frac{2500}{(1 + 0.12)^{17} } = PV[/tex]  

PV  $364.1109  

 

PV coupon $3,588.2938  

PV maturity  $364.1109  

Total $3,952.4046
