Explanation / Answer

Bond A: Par value = FV = 1000, Coupon = 14%. So PMT = 14%*Par = 140
No of periods = nper =20, Rate = 12%

So Bond Price (A) = PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv) = PV(12%,20,140,1000) = $1,149.39
SO Bond is selling at Premium as Coupon is more than ReqdRate of return
YTM = Rate of return = 12%

Bond B: Par value = FV = 1000, Coupon = 8%. So PMT = 8%*Par = 80
No of periods = nper =16, Rate = 8%
So Bond Price (B) = PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv) = PV(8%,16,80,1000) = $1000
SO Bond is selling at Par as Coupon is same as ReqdRate of return
YTM = Rate of return = 8%

Bond C: Par value = FV = 1000, Coupon = 12%. So PMT = 12%*Par = 120
No of periods = nper =10, Rate = 10%
So Bond Price (C) = PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv) = PV(10%,10,120,1000) = $1,122.89
SO Bond is selling at Premium as Coupon is more than ReqdRate of return
YTM = Rate of return = 10%
