Answer #1

We have to calculate monthly payments or PMT which can be calculated using the Excel function PMT

=PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv)

where,

rate is ytm 9.2%

nper is 17 years

pv is current selling price of bond $840

fv is the face value of bond $1000

=PMT(9.2%,17,-840,1000)

=$73.03

$73.03 interest is on $1000, coupon rate will be

= Interest / face value of bond

= 7.303%
