a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent.

b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 6 percent.

c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 8.5 percent.

Expert Solution

	We have the following informations:
	Face Value = $508,500
	Coupon Rate = 3.00%
	No. of payments = 14(7years*2 payments each year)
	Coupon Amount = $508,500*3% =$15,225
	Maturity Amount = $508,500+15,225 = 523,725

Case A:Market Interest Rate is 4%	The market interest rate (Semi-annual) will be 2%
	So discounting will be done @2% for 14 period:
Years(a)	Coupon amount + Face value(b)	Discounting Factor @ 2%(c)	Discounted amount(b*c)
