A $10,000 bond has an interest rate of 6% per year payable quarterly. The bond matures 15 years from now. At a nominal interest rate of 8% per year, compounded quarterly, the present worth of the bond is represented by which of the equations below:
PW = 150(P/A, 2%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 2%, 60)
PW = 600(P/A, 2%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 2%, 60)
PW = 600(P/A, 8%, 15) + 10,000(P/F, 8%, 15)
PW = 150(P/A, 1.5%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 1.5%, 60)
For each of the following problems, (a) draw the cash flow diagram; (b) present clean and clear manual solutions to the problem; (c) highlight the final answer (only the final answer as required by the problem) by enclosing it within a box.
