Answer #1

Answer:

Correct answer is:

b. $9,713

Explanation:

Holder will get $10,000 at the end of six months.

Interest rate = 6%

Interest for six months = 6%/2 = 3%

Current price = PV = FV (1 + Interest rate)

= $10,000 / (1 + 3%)

= $9708.74

From the available options, closest one is $9,713

As such option B is correct and other options A, C and D are incorrect.
