In June 1868, an entrepreneur issued $1000 bonds (to pay for an access road in a city). The bonds carried an 8% annual interest rate payable semiannually. The entrepreneur paid the interest until June 1899, at which time the city assumed responsibility for the bonds (and the road they financed). (a) The first of these bonds matured in June 2006. At that time, how much interest had the city paid on this bond? (b) Another of these bonds will not mature until June 2150! At that time, how much interest will the city have paid on this bond?
