Answer #1

Annual coupon=2000*6.3%=126

Hence market price=Annual coupon*Present value of annuity factor(7.5%,19)+$2000*Present value of discounting factor(7.5%,19)

=126*9.95907821+2000*0.253069134

=$1760.98(Approx).

NOTE:

1.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

=126[1-(1.075)^-19]/0.075

=126*9.95907821

2.Present value of discounting factor=2000/1.075^19

=2000*0.253069134
