To determine the present value of a perpetuity with a different interest rate for reinvestment, we can use the formula for the present value of a perpetuity, adjusted for continuous compounding. The key here is to find the effective rate for the continuous compounding of the reinvestment rate.

Given:

• The annual payment rate of the bond: $P = 3\%$ of $\$10,000$
• The reinvestment interest rate: $r = 4.3\%$ annually (compounded continuously)

First, we calculate the annual payment received from the bond: $\text{Annual payment} = 0.03 \times 10,000 = 300 \text{ dollars}$

The continuous compounding rate $r$ is given as 4.3%, or 0.043 in decimal form.

To find the present value of the perpetuity using continuous compounding, we use the formula: $PV = \frac{P}{r}$

Substituting the values: $P = 300 \text{ dollars}$ $r = 0.043$

Now, calculate the present value: $PV = \frac{300}{0.043} \approx 6976.74$

Therefore, the present value of the $10,000 bond, given the conditions, is approximately $6,976.74.
