Question 1
Assume semi-annual payments. What is the coupon rate for A bond? (Note: Becuase you are given "t" do not multiply it by 2 and remember that price quotes are as a percentage of $1000. This means to get the price, move the decimal over 1 place. For example, a price quote of 99.99 is equal to a price of $999.9.)
