Expert Solution

a. Computation of Bond's Yield to Maturity using Rate Function in Excel:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

Here,

Rate = Yield to Maturity = ?

Nper = 11 Years

PMT = $1,000*11% = $110

PV = $950

FV = $1,000

Substituting the values in formula:

=rate(11,110,-950,1000)

Rate or Yield to Maturity = 11.84%

 

b. Computation of Price of Bond using PV Function in Excel:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

Here,

PV = Price of Bond = ?

Rate = 13%

Nper = 11 years

PMT = $1,000*11% = $110

FV = $1,000

Substituting the values in formula:

=-pv(13%,11,110,1000)

PV or Price of Bonds = $886.26

 

 

c. YES. You should purchase the bond, since the bond is trading at Discount.
