A. $817.85
B. $871.85
C. $858.71
D. $885.71
Answer: B. $871.85
Coupon amount = $1,000* 7.25% = $72.5
Interest rate = 9%
Interest rate monthly = 9/12 = 0.75%
Time = 12 years, therefore, 12*12 = 144 months
Bond value = Coupon amount PVAF (i%, n) + Redemption amount PVIF
(i%, n)
Bond Value = 72.5 PVAF (0.75, 144) + 1,000 PVIF (0.75, 144)
Bond Value = $871.85
