Answer:
the bond worth today is $651.60
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of bond worth today i.e. present value is to be shown below:
Present value = Amount ÷ (1 + interest rate)^number of years
where,
Amount = $1,000
Interest rate = 5.5%
And, the number of years is 8
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the worth of the bond today is
= $1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.55)^8
= $651.60
hence, the bond worth today is $651.60
