a. Explain in your own words how the selling price would be determined.
The selling price would be the present value of interest and principal discounted at the effective rate. The semi annual interest is 1,000X9%X1/2 = $45, principal amount is $1,000, periods to maturity are 8X2=16(semi annual) and the discounting rate is 10%/2=5% (semi annual). Interest is an annuity and so the present value is calculated using the PVIFA table. For principal amount which is a lump sum we use the PVIF table
Price = 45 X PVIFA (16,5%) + 1,000 X PVIF (16,5%)
Price = 45X 10.8378+ 1,000 X 0.4581
Price = $945.81
