32. On January 1, 2008, Ace Corp. issued $3,000,000 par value, 12%, 10-year bonds which pay interest each December 31. If the market rate of interest was 14%, the issue price of the bonds should be:
present value of $1, 10 periods, 12% .3220 present value of $1, 10 periods, 14% .2697 present value of annuity of $1, 10 periods, 12% 5.6502 present value of annuity of $1, 10 periods, 14% 5.2161
A. $3,339,084 B. $2,843,172 C. $3,000,000 D. $2,686,896

Just remember to use the given rate (12% here) to calculate each interest payment (thats what you get each month), but use the market rate to calculate the present value (both for principal and the interest payments)
