Expert Solution

You have asked two unrelated sets of questions in the same post. As if the same was not enough, each set of yours have multiple sub parts as well. I have addressed all the questions in the first set. Please post the balance questions, separately, one by one. Please don't down vote just because I have answered only one set of questions.

---------------------------

I have assumed face value = par value of the bond to be $ 1,000 wherever necessary.

1) Since it's a par bond, coupon rate = yield = interest rate = 9%

Hence, its annual coupon will be = Coupon rate x Par value = 9% x 1,000 = 90

2) Rate = interest rate per period of 3 months = 15% / 4 = 3.75%;

PMT = Coupon per period = 1,000 x 8% / 4 = 20

Nper = 4 x 5 = 20

Price = - PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, FV) = - PV(3.75%, 20, 20, 1000) = 756.82

3) Price of a consol = Annual coupon / interest rate

Hence, 800 = Annual coupon / 10%

Hence, Annual coupon = 10% x 800 = 80

Hence, coupon rate = Annual coupon / Par value = 80/1,000 = 8%
