They will set up a sinking fund with quarterly deposits and an interest rate r(4) = 5.250%. a) How much are the quarterly deposits into the sinking fund? b) YMMV defaults on the bond at the end of year 24 (But they still make the last coupon payment and sinking fund deposit!).

(They get to keep the sinking fund money.)
