Solution :
Question 1 . Face Value = $1000, Coupon = 6% Coupon value = 60, time = 10 years ,interest rate (yield) = 8.6%
Using bond value formula
Question 2.
FV = 1000, Coupon = 6% annual = 3% semi-annual, Coupon payment = 30 , yield = 8.6% annual = 8.6% /2 = 4.3% semiannual , Time = 10 years = 10 * 2 semi-annual = 20
