Respuesta :

Answer:

Bond price= $1,793.62

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Face value= $2,000

Number of periods= 17

Cupon rate= 0.077

YTM= 0.089

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:

Bond Price​= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

Bond Price​= 154*{[1 - (1.089^-17)] / 0.089} + [2,000/1.089^17)

Bond Price​= 1,324.21 + 469.41

Bond price= $1,793.62
