Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate
your final answer using the formula and financial calculator
methods.
Compute the current price of the bonds if the present yield to
maturity is. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round

a. 7 percent
b. 9 percent
c. 12 percent
a)
Coupon = 0.1 * 1000 = 100
Current price = Coupon * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n
Current price = 100 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.07)18] / 0.07 + 1000 / (1 + 0.07)18
Current price = 100 * 10.05909 + 295.86392
Current price = $1,301.77

Coupon = 0.1 * 1000 = 100
Current price = Coupon * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n
Current price = 100 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.09)18] / 0.09 + 1000 / (1 + 0.09)18
Current price = 100 * 8.75563 + 211.99374
Current price = $1,087.56

Coupon = 0.1 * 1000 = 100
Current price = Coupon * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n
Current price = 100 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.12)18] / 0.12 + 1000 / (1 + 0.12)18
Current price = 100 * 7.24967 + 130.03959
Current price = $855.01
