Option (b) is correct
Bond proceeds are the price of the bond. It can be calculated by the following formula:
Bond price = Present value of interest payment + Present value of bond payment at maturity
Semi annual bond interest = 7% * $5040000 * 1/2 = $176400
Bond interest payments will be semi annual every year, so it is an annuity. While calculating the present value of bond interest payment, we will use the present value of annuity (PVA) of $1 table and bond payment at maturity is a one time payment, so we will use the present value (PV) of $1 table. The interest rate that will be used in calculating the required present values will be the semi annual yield, which is 6% /2 = 3%, with 5*2 = 10 periods.
Now,
Bond price = $176400 * PVA (3%, 10 years) + $5040000 * PV (3%, 10 years)
We will now find the values of PVA (3%, 10 years) and PV (3%, 10 years) from the table given and solve this equation.
Bond price = ($176400 * 8.530208) + ($5040000 * 0.744090)
Bond price = $1504728.6912 + $3750213.6
Bond price = $5254941
So, bond proceeds are $5254941.
