Assume that your selected company issued a new 10-year bond for $300,000 on October 1, 2021, that will mature on October 1, 2031. The future value of this bond is therefore $300,000. The bond was issued at the current market rate of 5.0% fixed for 10 years, with interest payments made semi-annually. What is the present value of this bond using the three scenarios in Part II: Bond Issuance?

- The present value of the bond if overall rates in the market increased by 2% annually
- The present value of the bond if overall rates in the market decreased by 2% annually

Periods | N | Number of semi-annual payments made over 10 years | |
Interest | I | % | Annual interest rate at issuance paid semi-annually |
