Question

Bob uses 19481 to purchase a 10-year par-value bond (i.e. redeems at face-value). Coupons are paid out annually (end of the year) and each coupon is equal to 2% of the face-value of the bond. If each coupon payment is invested into an account that earns an effective annual interest rate of 2.4%, then what is the face-value of the bond if Bob realizes an overall yield of 3.36% per year effective over the 10 year period? Give your answer rounded to the nearest whole number (i.e. X).
