Answer:

The right solution is "$20.733.16".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Face value,

= $20000

Rate (r),

= .035

Bond A:

= [tex]\frac{Face \ value}{(1+r)^n}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{20000}{(1+.035)^{40}}[/tex]

= [tex]5051.45[/tex] ($)

Bond B:

= [tex]\frac{1100\times 12.0941}{(1+.035)^{10}} + \frac{1400\times 10.9205}{(1+.035)^{26}} + \frac{20000}{(1+.035)^{40}}[/tex]

= [tex]9431.11+6250.6+5051.45[/tex]

= [tex]20733.16[/tex] ($)
