Answer 1

Answer:123.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Market price = $2,464.21

Step-by-step explanation:

coupon rate = 5.86% / 2 = 2.93%

YTM = 4.3% / 2 = 2.15%

face value = $2,000

periods to maturity = 24 x 2 = 48

Present value of face value = $2,000 / (1 + 2.15%)⁴⁸ = $720.42

Present value of coupon payments = $58.60 x {[1 - 1/(1 + 0.0215)⁴⁸ ] / 0.0215} = $1,743.79

Market price = $2,464.21
