Answer:
The bond will sell for the amount of $869.17
Explanation:
According to the given data coupon amount = 50/2 = 25
Therefore, in order to calculate the selling price of the bond we would have to make the following calculation:
selling price of the bond = 25 * PVIFA(3%,52) + 1,000 * PVIF(3%,52)
selling price of the bond= 25 * 26.1662 + 1,000 * 0.2150
  selling price of the bond= $869.17
The bond will sell for the amount of $869.17

c. 15.46%  
d. 16.33%

=.105/.72=.14583333
=14.58 %
