    What was the price of this bond when it was issued?

    $ 1,095,23

    Explanation:

    To know the Price of the bond when it was issued we need first to calculate the Present Value of the Principal and then through the annuity method calculate the Present Value of the coupons.

    Bond Value

    Principal Present Value = F / (1 + r) ^t

    Coupon Present Value = C x [1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^t] / r

    The price of this bond it's $553 + $542 = $1,095,23

    Bond $1,000

    Coupon $74,00

    Annual Rate 7,4%

    YTM 6,1%

    Years 10

    Present Value of Bonds $553 = 1,000 / (1+0,061) ^10

    Bond 1.000

    YTM Rate 6,10%

    Periods 10

    Present Value of Coupons $542 = 74 (Coupon) x 7,33

    7,33 = [1 - 1 / (1+0,061) ^10 ] / 0,061

    Bond 1.000

    YTM Rate 6,10%

    Periods 10
