Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answer 1

$93,725,580.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The market price of the bond is the present value of annual coupon payment plus the present value of face amount receivable at the end of the bond tenure.

Annual coupon interest=face amount*stated rate=$107,000,000*6%=$6,420,000.00

Face amount=$107,000,000

The discount factor for annual coupon is the present of 30 years annuity(2048-2018) at 7% market rate, which is 12.4090

The discount factor for the face value is 0.1314

Price of the bond=($6,420,000.00*12.4090)+($107,000,000*0.1314)=$93,725,580.00
