Assuming semi-annual payments on the bond,
A.) Bond Price =${(275/2)x{(1-(1+0.00977/2)-7/(0.00977/2)}+ 10,000/(1+0.00977/2)7 }/(1+0.00977/2)(2x0.8712-1) + Accrued Interest
= $ {943.9650 + 9,664.6349}x0.9964 + 0.3712*275
= $ 10,608.0000x0.9964 + 102.08
= $ 10,570.2896 + 102.08
= $ 10,672.36
or the Ask Price =106.72
B.) Since it is a treasury strip, there will be no interim coupon payments,
8,410.30 =10,000/(1+r)7.8301
=> (1+r)7.8301 = 1.1890
=> 1+r =1.022
=> r =0.022
Hence, the yield is 2.2%
