b.
Bond Price = $1603.90355 rounded off to $1603.90
c.

Explanation:
To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, we will use the annual coupon payment, number of periods and annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
<u>a. 40 Years </u>
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.19 = $190
Total periods remaining (n) = 40
r or YTM = 0.11 or 11%
Bond Price = 190 * [( 1 - (1+0.11)^-40) / 0.11] + 1000 / (1+0.11)^40
Bond Price = $1716.084065 rounded off to $1716.08
<u>b. 17 Years </u>
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.19 = $190
Total periods remaining (n) = 17
r or YTM = 0.11 or 11%
Bond Price = 190 * [( 1 - (1+0.11)^-17) / 0.11] + 1000 / (1+0.11)^17
Bond Price = $1603.90355 rounded off to $1603.90
<u>c. 8 Years </u>
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.19 = $190
Total periods remaining (n) = 8
r or YTM = 0.11 or 11%
Bond Price = 190 * [( 1 - (1+0.11)^-8) / 0.11] + 1000 / (1+0.11)^8
Bond Price = $1411.68982 rounded off to $1411.69
