    Price of Bond = $ 570,000

    Amount received = $ 570,000.

    Explanation:

    The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

    Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

    The value of bond for Applied Technologies Corporation can be worked out as follows:

    Step 1

    PV of interest payments

    Semi annul interest payment

    = 9% * 570,000*=

    =51,300

    PV of interest =

    A * (1+r) ^ (-n) / r

    51300 * (1 - (1.09) ^ (-10)

    = 329,225.8401

    Step 2

    PV of Redemption Value

    = 570,000 * (1.09) ^ (-10)

    = 240,774.16

    Price of bond

    = 329,225.8401 + 240,774.16

    = $ 570,000.00

    Price of Bond = $ 570,000.00

    Amount received = $ 570,000.
