| K = Nx2 | 
| Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2 | 
| k=1 | 
| K =13x2 | 
| Bond Price =∑ [(8*1000/200)/(1 + 7/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + 7/200)^13x2 | 
| k=1 | 
| Bond Price = 1084.45 | 
It is a premium bond as price is above par value
B.
| K = Nx2 | 
| Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2 | 
| k=1 | 
| K =18x2 | 
| 926 =∑ [(10*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + YTM/200)^18x2 | 
| k=1 | 
| YTM% = 10.95 |
