His term in office ends in 2017 and he will announce the construction of the library to gain some votes from the student population of the City. He wants the library to be built by 2021, that is, before the next elections. He needs to receive the money today, to be able to begin the construction. The amount needed for the building is of 1 billion dollars. Assume Bills receives the amount needed for the construction on January 1st, 2018. Bill is considering paying back the investors with different payback structures, all of them carrying an annual interest rate (or yield) of 2%.
Consider an annuity bond that matures on January 1st, 2040 and is issued on January 1st, 2018. Calculate the total payment, interest payment, and remaining face value on the 1st of January of every year between 2018 and 2024 for this bond.
