a. The bond Price = $1,050.37

b. The bond Price = $927.29

Explanation:

Missing question: a. 6.50%  b. 11.30%

A. Face value = 1,000

Coupon rate = (8+3/8)% = 8.375%

Years = 2

PMT = 1000*8.375% / 2 = 41.88

No of years to maturity = 3

Number of compounding period = 6

Market rate of return = 6.50%

Market rate of return per period = 6.50%/2 = 3.25%

The bond Price = PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, FV)*-1

The bond Price = PV(3.25%, 6, 41.88, 1000)*-1

The bond Price = $1,050.37

B. Face value = 1,000

Coupon rate = (8+3/8)% = 8.375%

Years = 2

PMT = 1000*8.375% / 2 = 41.88

No of years to maturity = 3

Number of compounding period = 6

Market rate of return = 11.30%

Market rate of return per period = 6.50%/2 = 5.65%

The bond Price = PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, FV)*-1

The bond Price = PV(5.65%, 6, 41.88, 1000)*-1

The bond Price = $927.29
