Expert Solution

1.

Expected rate of return = YTM or Yield = 10.15%

Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:	#
FV = Future Value / Face Value =	-$1,000.00
PV = Present Value =	$800.00
N = Total number of periods = Number of years x frequency =	15
PMT = Payment = Coupon / frequency =	-$75.00
CPT > I/Y = Rate per period or YTM per period =	10.152
*Convert Yield in annual and percentage form = Yieldfrequency / 100 =**	10.15%

2.

Bond value at required rate of return = $693.51

Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:	#
I/Y = Rate or yield / frequency of coupon in a year =	12.000000
PMT = Coupon rate x FV / frequency =	-$75.00
N = Number of years remaining x frequency =	15
FV = Future Value =	-$1,000.00
CPT > PV = Present value of bond	$693.51

3.

Yes,

We should sell bond because it selling at $800 presently and calculated price of the bond at required rate of return is $693.51
