On March 1, 2011, Catherine purchased $60,000 of Tyson Co.'s 6%, 17-year bonds at face value. Tyson Co. has regularly paid the annual interest due on the bonds. On March 1, 2016, market interest rates had risen to 10%, and Catherine is considering selling the bonds. Use present value tables

You need to read the caveat about exams and students posting questions here.

Aside from that there is a clue in the question and more than likely examples in your book and elsewhere on line.
