Answer #1

The FV = $1000

N = 14 YEARS (SEMI - ANNUAL BOND)

PMT = 4.5%/2 * 1000 (DUE TO SEMI ANNUAL COMPOUNDING, THE ANNUAL COUPON RATE HAS TO BE DIVIDED BY 2 TO GET SEMI-ANNUAL PAYMENTS)

=$22.5

YTM = 3.12% (SIMILARLY, THE YTM HAS TO BE DIVIDED BY 2, TO GET THE SEMI -ANNUAL RATE)

COMPUTE PV

So, the current market price is :($902.52)

PV = ($902.52)
