Answer #1

Answer: $901

Calculations:

Present value of cash interest $396
[$40 x 0.8986 Present value annuity factor at 5% for 14 periods*]
Present value of face value $505
[$1,000 x 0.5051 Present value factor at 5% for 14 periods*]
Current market value $901

*7 years x 2 semi-annual interest payments = 14 periods

Thus, Option-i is correct and remaining options are incorrect.
