Determine the proceeds of a non-interest-bearing note with a maturity value of $9,000 three years and ten months before the due date if the interest rate is 7% compounded semi-annually.
select one: a. $6,900.44 b. $6,910.78 c. $6,911.58 d. $6,913.53

Answer d) $6,913.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to bring the maturity value to present value, that is 3 years and 10 months before its due date (46 months, since 3 years +10 months is 46 months).

ok, in order to come up with the simplest solution to this problem, we have to turn this interest rate (7% compounded semi-annually) into an effective monthly rate. That is as follows.

In other words, our discount rate is 0.575%

Now, we take it to present value using the following formula.

Best of luck.
