    Required return is 8.75%

    Explanation:

    Given,

    FV (Face Value) is $1,000

    PV (present Value) is computed as:

    PV = FV * Price

    = $1,000 * 101.4%

    = $1,014

    Nper (Number of years) is 8 years

    PMT (Monthly payment) is computed as:

    PMT = FV * Coupon rate

    = $1,000 * 9%

    = $90

    r (Required return) is computed by using the excel formula:

    =Rate (nper, pmt, pv, fv, type)

    = Rate (8,90,-1014,1000,0)

    = 8.75%
