Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until maturity, a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 7.9 % (annual payments). The yield to maturity on this bond when it was issued was 6.2%. What was the price of this bond when it was issued?
When it was issued, the price of the bond was......? (round to the nearest cent.)
M = $1000, n = 10, i = 6.2%, C = 7.9% * $1000 = $79
P = $575.98 + $547.97
P = $1,123.94
