Answer #1

We are not given no of years, so we have to use basic bond principle to answer the question

If YTM < coupon rate , bond will trade at a premium.

Here YTM = 8%, which is lower than coupon rate of 10%, so bond will trade at a premium.

So possible price = 1200

Answer : 1200 [Thumbs up please]
