Ruiz Company issued bonds on January 1 and has provided the relevant information.The Controller has asked you to calculate the bond selling price given two different market interest rates using Excel's Present Value functions.Use the information included in the Excel Simulation and the Excel functions described below to complete the task.

• Cell Reference:Allows you to refer to data from another cell in the worksheet.From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell, "=B2" was entered, the formula would output the result from cell B2, or $500,000 in this example.
• Basic Math functions:Allows you to use the basic math symbols to perform mathematical functions.You can use the following keys:+ (plus sign to add), - (minus sign to subtract), * (asterisk sign to multiply), and / (forward slash to divide).From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell "=B3+B5" was entered, the formula would add the values from those cells and output the result, or 31 in this example.If using the other math symbols the result would output an appropriate answer for its function.
• PV Function:Allows you to perform the mathematical present value calculation of a value.The syntax of the PV function is "=PV(rate,nper,pmt,[fv],[type])" and results in the total amount that a series of future payments is worth now also known as the present value.Therateargument is the interest rate per period.Thenperargument is the total number of payment periods.Thepmtargument is the payment made each period that does not change over the life of the investment and this argument must be included if the[fv]argument is not included.The[fv]argument is the future value, or the cash basis to attain after the last payment is made and this argument must be included if thepmtargument is omitted.The[type]argument is a logical value of 0 or 1, which indicates when the payments are due where 1 is the payment at the beginning of the period and 0, is the payment at the end of the period.Both the[fv]and[type]values are optional arguments to have the formula work, which is why they are surrounded by brackets in the syntax, however, these values would not be entered with brackets in the actual function.For the purposes of this Excel Simulation, please include the[pmt]and[fv]arguments, but leave out the[type]argument from the function.Also, the[pmt]and[fv]arguments should be entered as negative values.
• IF function:Allows you to test a condition and return a specific value is the result is true and different value if the result is false.The syntax of the IF function is "=IF(test_condition,value_if_true,value_if_false)" and specific considerations need to be made when using this function.Thetest_conditionargument is an evaluation of the status of a cell, such as if the value of a cell is greater than, less than, or equal to another number or cell.Thevalue_if_trueandvalue_if_falsearguments will return any specific result for each option, such as another cell reference, a value, or text.Throughout the entire equation, if text is being used in thetest_condition,value_if_true, orvalue_if_falsearguments then the text itself should be entered in quotations so that Excel will recognize the text as a "string of text" instead of another function.From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell "=IF(B2>250000,"Cash is great","Cash is bad") was entered, the formula would output the result of thevalue_if_truesince thetest_conditionwould be result as true, or in this case the text "Cash is great".Excel processes the IF function by separating it out into separate parts.First thetest_condition- Excel thinks,find cell B2 and determine if the value is greater than 250000.Once Excel determines if the result of thattest_conditionis TRUE or FALSE, it will return thevalue_if_trueorvalue_if_false.

Make sure to put answers in the form ofexcel functionsstated above.
