Expert Solution

No of periods = 14 years

Coupon per period = Coupon rate * Par value

Coupon per period = 11% * $1000

Coupon per period = $110

Value of Coupon paying bond

Bond Price = Coupon / (1 + YTM)^period + Face value / (1 + YTM)^period

Bond Price = $110 / (1 + 10%)¹ + $110 / (1 + 10%)² + ...+ $110 / (1 + 10%)¹⁴ + $1,000 / (1 + 10%)¹⁴

Using PVIFA = ((1 - (1 + Interest rate)^{- no of
periods}) / interest rate) to value coupons

Bond Price = $110 * (1 - (1 + 10%)^-14) / (10%) + $1,000 / (1 + 10%)¹⁴

Bond Price = $810.34 + $263.33

Bond Price = $1073.67

Perpetual Bond	Coupon Bond
The maturity of a perpetual bond is not fixed it is infinite.	The maturity of a coupon paying bond is fixed.
They are mostly issued by banks for capital reserve requirements.	They are issued by Sovereigns & Enterprises for specific purposes such as capital investments.
The required rate of return is usually higher with perpetual bonds since they have longer maturity.	The required rate of return depends on the maturity, default risk & liquidity but is usually lower than perpetual bonds.
These bonds continue paying a steady state of interest forever.	These bonds as specified may pay a fixed or floating coupon rate till the maturity date
