Expert Solution

                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =15x2
868.92 =∑ [(7.3*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/200)^15x2
                   k=1
YTM% = 8.9
                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =5x2
Bond Price =∑ [(7.3*1000/200)/(1 + 8.89/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 8.89/200)^5x2
                   k=1
Bond Price = 936.92
