a. What is the current price of the bonds? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Assume interest payments are annual.)

Price of a bond=
Where,
Coupon is the amount of coupon payable each period
r is the rate of yield to maturity
F is the maturity value
T is the period of maturity
By using the above formula, we can answer the questions as below-
Where, t is 1 to 18. Therefore, we should take PVIFA factor of 11% for 18 years and multiply it with coupon amount.
PVIFA for 11% for 18 years (Check PVIFA chart) is 7.701617
Therefore, cash inflows from coupon is = 7.701617×40= 308.0647
And,
= 152.8222
Hence, price of the bond= 308.0647+152.8222= 460.89
b) Changes in price of bond during the period till maturity = (maturity value - Current price)/Current price× 100
= (1000-460.89)/460.89× 100
= 116.97%
