Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 113 million * 0.05 = 5.65 million

Total periods (n) = 30

r or YTM = 0.06 or 6%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price =5.65 * [( 1 - (1+0.06)^-30) / 0.06]  +  113 / (1+0.06)^30

Bond Price = $97.4457408 million rounded off to $97.45 million
