Answer #1

Coupon dollars (I) = par value * coupon rate = $1000 * 8% = $80.

FC = 2% of par value = 2% of $1000 = $20.

Term (n) = 10

Price (P) = $980

Net Proceeds = P - FC = $980 - $20 = $960.

rd is calculated using RATE function in Excel :

nper = 10 (years to maturity)

pmt = 80 (annual coupon payment)

pv = -960 (Net proceeds)

fv = 1000 (face value receivable at maturity)

RATE is calculated to be 8.61%.

rd = 8.61%

fix RATE (10,80,-960,1000) АЗ A В с E F 8.61% 3 L
