Expert Solution

Since credit spread shows the difference between yield on treasury notes and corporate bonds of the same maturity,

Credit spread = yield on 5-year corporate bond - yield on 5-year treasury notes

Yield on 5-year corporate bond = 0.86% + 2.2% = 3.06%

The price of the Bond is calculated in excel below
