How much should they pay so that the bond will be worth $85,000 at maturity?

03

Step 3. Finding the amount to be paid for the bond to be worth $85000at maturity

Using the compound interest formula, A=P1+rnnt

Put A=85000,r=0.04,n=2,t=18

85000=P1+0.0422脳18

鈬�85000=P1+0.0236

鈬�85000=P1.0236

鈬�850001.0236=P

鈬�P=850002.0398
