Large Industries annual bonds are selling at 81.7 (i.e., the price is 81.7% of the $1,000 face value). There are 9 years remaining until maturity on the bonds and the yield to maturity is 7.75%. Find the coupon rate. (Note: you may have to use a trial and error solution method)
n = 9, i = 7.75%, M = $1000, P = 81.7% * $1000 = $817
817 = C * 6.312355 + 510.7925
306.2075 = C * 6.312355
C = $48.51
Coupon Rate = $48.5/$1000 = 4.85%
