    d. $44,161

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    The present value of the periodic interest to be paid on the bonds is

    = Face amount * interest rate * present value of an annuity at 6% for 10 years

    = $100,000 * 6% * 7.36009

    = $44,161

    Refer to the present value of an annuity table

    On a semiannual basis, the interest rate is half and the time period doubles =. The same is applied in the above calculation.
