Solutions

Expert Solution

The coupon rate will be equal to the current YTM which is calculated using the RATE function:

=RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)

=RATE(18*2,8.6%/2*1000,-947.7,1000)*2

=9.20%

Where,

nper is number of periods to maturity,

pmt is payment per period,

pv is current price,

fv is redemption price of bond
