Answer:

The right solution is "$966.27".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values are:

Coupon rate,

= 10%

Par value,

= $1000

Yield of maturity,

= 12%

then,

Coupon will be:

=
1000* 10 \ percent

=
1000* 0.1

=
100 ($)

Now,

The present value of coupon will be:

=
A* ((1-(1+r)^n))/(r)

By putting the value, we get

=
100* (1-(1.12)^(-2))/(0.12)

=
100* (1-0.7971)/(0.12)

=
100* (0.2029)/(0.12)

=
169.08 ($)

The present value of par value will be:

=
(1000)/((1+12 \ percent)^2)

=
(1000)/((1.12)^2)

=
797.19 ($)

hence,

The price of bond will be:

=
Present \ value \ of \ coupon+Present \ value \ of \ par \ value

=
169.08+797.19

=
966.27 ($)
