Face value = 10,000,000,000

Return per quarter = 8% / 4 = 2%

Dividend per quarter = 10,000,000,000 = 200,000,000

Interest rate per quarter = 12% / 4 = 3%

Number of quarters (n) = 4 * 10 years = 40

Thus,

The Present Worth of the bond = 200,000,000(P/A, 3%, 40) + 10,000,000,000(P/F, 3%, 40)

                                                  = 200,000,000(23.1148) + 10,000,000,000(0.3066)

                                                  = 4,622,960,000? + 3,066,000,000

                                                  = $7,688,960,000

Thus, the bond value would be $7,688,960,000 that would meet the bank return interests.
