Answer:

The price of King Noodles' bonds is $970.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Coupon payment = 1000 x 7.5% = $75 per year = 75/4 = 18.75 per quarter

Number of periods = n = 8 years x 4 quarter each year = 32 quarter

Yield to maturity = 8% per year = 8% / 4 = 2% per quarter

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula:

Price of the Bond = $18.75 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond =$18.75 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 2% )^-32 ) / 2% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 2% )^32 ]

Price of the Bond = $18.75 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.02 )^-32 ) / 0.02 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.02 )^32 ]

Price of the Bond = $440.03 + $530.63

Price of the Bond = $970.66
