Answer #1

We will use the BA 2 plus financial calculator to find the current price of the bond. Assuming the par/ future value of the bond is $1000. Please make the following strokes on your calculator-

2ND FV

1000 FV

45 PMT (1000 X 9%/2)

60 N (30X2)

6 I/Y (12/2)

CPT PV

PV = $757.58

The price of the bond is $757.58 (Option E)

Do let me know in the comment section in case of any doubt.
