Expert Solution

Calculating Expected Return,

Using TVM Calculation,

I = [PV = -925, FV = 1,000, PMT = 80, N = 10]

I = 9.18%

Calculating Price at required Rate

Using TVM Calculation,

PV = [FV = 1,000, PMT = 80, N = 10, I = 0.11]

PV = $823.32

As rate at current price is less than 11% one shouldn't buy the bond
