Expert Solution

Lets find the price of bond with the expected return and then we can compare the issue price and the price we derived.

Bond price formula:

Where,
C = Periodic coupon payment,
P = Face value of bond
r = Expected return
n = Years to maturity

C = 1000 * 8% = $80

Substituting the values, we get:

So as per your expected return of 12% the price should be $855.81 but the issue price is $960. So no you should not purchase the bond.

If you want to do it in excel refer the following.

Bond valuation
Years to maturity	5
Face value of the bond	$ 1,000.00
Coupon rate	8.00%
Coupon payment	$ 80.00
Expected rate of return	12.00%
Bond price	$ 855.81
Issue price	$ 960.00
