Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Part A:

Number of Years = Nper(Rate,PMT,PV,FV)/2 = Nper(16.28%/2,32.50,-832,1000)/2 = 2.10 Years

--------

Part B:

Real Rate = (1+7.75%)/(1+4%) -1 = 3.61%

--------

Part C:

Market Price = PV(Rate,Nper,PMT,FV) = PV(7.2%/2,21,33.75,1000) = $967.24

--------

Part D:

Current Price = (1000*8%)/7.65% = 1045.75

Number of Years = Nper(Rate,PMT,PV,FV) = Nper(7.30%,40, -1045.75,1000) = 9.20 Years

Thanks.
