Explanation / Answer

Let the face value of the bond be 100

Interest on the bond= 8% i.e 100*8% or 8

Price of the bond @ 8% yield

= Interest * PVAF ( 8%,9years) + 100*PVF(8%,9years)

= 8*6.2468 + 100*0.5002

= 50+50 i.e 100

Price of the bond @ 6% yield

= Interest * PVAF ( 6%,9years) + 100*PVF(6%,9years)

= 8*6.8016 + 100*0.5918

= i.e 113.60

Price of the bond @ 10% yield

= Interest * PVAF ( 10%,9years) + 100*PVF(10%,9years)

= 8*5.7590+ 100*0.4241

= 46.07+42.41 i.e 88.48
