Bill Mitselfik has purchased a bond that was issued by Acme Chemical. This bond has a face value of $1 comma 000 and pays a div
idend of 4% per year, compounded semi-annually. Bill bought the bond five years ago at face value and there are six years remaining until the bond matures. Bill wishes to sell it now for a price that will result in Bill earning an annual yield of 6% compounded semi-annually. What price does Bill need to sell the bond for to earn his desired return?

Answer:
The correct answer is $1,114.64
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Rate (Semiannual) = 6% ÷ 2 = 3%
Time period = 5 years
Time period (semi annual) (Nper) = 5 × 2 = 10
Face value (PV) = $1,000
payment (pmt) = $1,000 × 4%/2 = $20
We can calculate the FV by using financial calculator,
The attachment is attached below.
So, the Price = $1,114.64

Answer:
The answer is "1.1"
Explanation:
In the case of a single Interest, the principal value is determined as follows:
In case of discount:
Let income amount = 100, time = 1.5 years, and rate =20 %.
Formula:
A = P(1+rt)
A =P+I
by putting vale in the above formula we get the value that is = 76.92, thus method A will give 76.92 value.
If we calculate discount then the formula is:
P = M(1-rt)
M = 100 rate and time is same as above.
Thus Method B will give the value that is 70
calculating ratio value:
