Answer:

$45,323,443.20  

Explanation:

The present value of the bonds consist of the present value of the semiannual interest payment i.e$42,000,000*11%*6/12=$2,310,000.00

The semiannual payment would be multiplied by the annuity for ten periods (5 years *2) using 4.5% (11%/2)   which is 7.91272

present value of semiannual interest payment=7.91272 *2,310,000.00=$ 18,278,383.20  

Present value of face value in after 10 periods=0.64393 *$42,000,000=$ 27,045,060.00  

Total present value=$ 27,045,060.00+$18,278,383.20=$45,323,443.20
