Explanation / Answer

1. FV = 1000, PMT = 80, rate = 7%, N = 20

use PV funciton in Excel

price = 1105.94

2. FV = 1000, PMT = 60, rate = 9%, N = 5

price = 883.31

3. FV = 1000, N = 20, PMT = 45, PV = -1071.06

use rate funciton and multiply by 2

YTM = 7.96%

4. FV = 1050, PV = -950, N = 3, PMT = 80

YTC = 11.55%
