Respuesta :

Answer: $86,235

Explanation:

Use Excel or a financial calculator to calculate the bond price.

As the interest is payable semiannually, the relevant variables are:

Coupon = 10% * 100,000 * 1/2 years = $5,000

Yield = 12% / 2 = 6%

Number of periods = 15 years * 2 = 30 semi annual periods

Bond price = $86,235
