Answer:
$42,969,487
$ 39,100,000
$ 35,745,399
Explanation:
The price of the bond using the pv formula in excel is given thus:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the market rate divided by 2 since interest is payable twice a year
nper is 20year multiplied by 2 which gives 40
pmt is the semiannual coupon=$39,100,000*9%*6/12=$1,759,500.00
fv is the face value of $39,100,000
market rate of 8%
=-pv(8%/2,40,1759500,39100000)=$42,969,487
market rate of 9%
=-pv(9%/2,40,1759500,39100000)=$ 39,100,000
market rate of 10%
=-pv(10%/2,40,1759500,39100000)=$35,745,399
