Respuesta :

Answer:

C.eight-year bond with 5.5% annual interest rate

Explanation:

The computation of the total options under each option is as follows:

As we assume the par value be $1,000

For Option A

Total interest

= 9.5% × $1,000 × 3 years

= $285

For Option  B      

Total interest is

= 7.25% × $1,000 × 4 years

= $290

For Option C

Total interest is

= 5.5% × $1,000 × 8 years

= $440

For Option D

Total interest is

= 6% × $1,000 × 6 years

= $360

As we can see that the option C contains high value of the total interest. So the same is to be selected
