19) A person purchases a $5,000, 5% per year bond, with interest payable semiannually, for the amount of $4,000. The bond has a maturity date of 14 years from now. The equation for calculating how much the person must sell the bond for 6 years from now in order to make a rate of return of 12% per year, compounded semiannually, is:

a. 0 = 4,000 + 125(P/A,6%,12) + x(P/F,6%,12)

b. 0 = 4,000 + 100(P/A,6%,12) + x(P/F,6%,12)

c. 0 = 5,000 + 125(P/A,6%,12) + x(P/F,6%,12)

d. 0 = 4,000 + 125(P/A,12%,6) + x(P/F,12%,6)
