Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) The answer is found through an iterative (trial and error) process using the bond pricing formula.
Bond Price = PMT + ;
987.24 = 40 + ;
r = 4.077260
YTM = 4.077260 2 = 8.15.
MODE = END, P/Y = 2, C/Y = 2
INPUT 28 ? -987.24 40 1,000
KEY N I/Y PV PMT FV
CPT 8.15
