Answer:

The price she sold the bond is $1,001.47

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for yield return in given as ;

Yield to maturity= (Annual interest+ per value - market price ÷ numbers of years to maturity)/per value+ market price÷ 2

048 = (Selling price + [(.07 × $1,000)/2] - $989)/$989

Making selling price the subject of formula we have this as the abswer

Selling price = $1,001.47
