The correct option is C,$962
Explanation:
The price a rational and prudent investor like me would be willing to pay for the bond today is the present worth of future cash inflows receivable from the bond issuer,which comprises of annual coupon interest and the face value at maturity.
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is required rate of return expected by investor of 10%
nper is 5 years since the investor intends to hold the bond for 5 years
pmt is the annual coupon interest=$1000*9%=$90
fv is the face value of $1000
=-pv(10%,5,90,1000)=$962.09
The current price is $962
