b. Assume it is 9%, compounded semi-annually. Per period rate is 9%/2, or 4.5% Price = 40 × annuity factor(4.5%, 18 years) + 1000/1.04518 = $939.20. 14. On your calculator, set n = 30, FV =1000, PMT = 80. a. Set PV = (-)900 and compute the interest rate to find that YTM = 8.971% . b. Set PV = (-)1000 and compute the interest rate to find that ... ................
