jmcgui10 Isn't the last payment $260,000?
10,000 + 250,000?
NavdeepS The curriculum text states it slightly differently (but pretty similar) as 9 semiannual payments of 10k plus one final payment of 260K. Since thats not an option here, the correct answer is the most appropriate choice one.
Skrills it is essentially the exact same thing!

To-be-CFA You can solve this question without actually solving it as C is the only option having $250,000 as one final payment.
