    -8,800 + 300 (P/A, i*,20) + 10,000 (P/F, i*,20) = 0

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Value of the mortgage bond = $10,000

    Interest rate = 12% per year

    Purchase value = $8,800

    Time period = 5 years

    Now the correct equation is

    -$8,800 + 300 (P/A, i *,20) + 10,000 (P/F, i*,20) = 0

    The $8,800 represents the purchase value

    The 20 represents the 5 years * 4 quarters

    Interest = $10,000 * 12% : 4 = $300
