    e) Adonis must pay $270,000 at maturity plus 20 interest payments of $14,850 each.

    Explanation:

    Based on this information, Adonis Corporation is issuing a coupon paying bond.

    The $286,827 that they receive is the market price / market value of the bond. The duration of the bond = 10 years, however, since the coupons are paid semiannually, there will be 10*2 = 20 payments in total. Semi annual coupon payment; PMT = (11%/2) * 270,000 = $14,850 The $270,000 is the face value of the bond which must be repaid at the end of the life of this bond. Therefore, Adonis must pay $270,000 at maturity plus 20 interest payments of $14,850 each.
