Answer #1

Answer: Option a is correct

Face value=$2000
Coupon rate is 5.9%
Coupon payment=(Coupon rate)*(Face value)=(5.9%)*(2000)=118
Time period=25 years
YTM=9.4%
We can determine the present value using excel


1 Face value 2 Payment 3 Time period 4 YTM 5 Present value= 2000 118 25 9.40% ($1,334.12)

So, the price must be $1334.12
