Question: Last month Jim purchased $10,000 of U.S. Treasury bonds (their face value was $10,000). These bonds have a 30-year maturity period, and they pay 1.5%interest every three months (i.e., the APRis 6%, and Jim receives a check for $150 every three months). But interest rates for similar securities have since risen to a 7% APR because of interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board. In view of the interest-rate increase to 7%, what is the current value of Jim's bonds?
