You bought a bond 8 years ago for $1,000. It has a $1,200 face value and a nominal annual bond rate of 10%, paid semiannually
(so it pays 5% of the face value every 6 months). You'd like to sell it now and get a nominal annual yield of 18%. How much should you sell the bond for?

Answer:
The correct answer is $1990.10.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Present value = $1,000
Time period = 8 years
Time period (Nper) ( semiannual) = 16
Bond rate semiannual = 5%
So, Semiannual Payment (pmt) = $1,200 × 5% = $60
Annual yield = 18%
So, Semiannual yield ( rate ) = 9%
So, by putting all this in financial calculator, we get the following result.
Attachment is attached below.
The future value is $1,990.10.
