Explanation / Answer

Market price of bonds

Present value of all the cash inflows

present value will be calculated with the market interest rate 10% , Because it is the yield of bonds .

so the price will be

present value of all the interest payments + present value of redemption value ( face value here)

Interest payments = $ 128000 * 6% = 7680 semiannually

and $ 128000* 12% = $ 15360 annually

MARKET PRICE OF BONDS

$ 15360 * PVAF (10%, 10 yrs) + $ 128000 * PVIF (10%, 10 years)

= $ 15360* 6.145 + $ 128000* 0.3855

= $ 94387.4 + $ 49349.54

= $ 143736.74

The options did not include correct answer. You can get option A 128026 if you discount cash flows with the rate of 6 % but it will give the face value of bonds and not the market price.

The market price is always determined with market interest rate.
