Ifa specific Excel function is to be used, the directions will specify the use of that function. Do not type in numerical data into a cell or function. Instead, make a reference to the cell in which the data is found. Make your computations only in the blue cells highlighted below. In all cases, unless otherwise directed, use the earliest appearance of the data in your formulas, usually the Given Data section. 10 1,000 Maturity (years) Face value Coupon rate Yield to maturity Coupon Bond price References 1 In cell D11, by using cell references, calculate the coupon payment of the bond (1 pt.). 2 In cell D12, by using cell references, calculate the price of the bond when it was issued (1 p.).
