Answer:
13.28%
Explanation:
The computation of the coupon rate is shown below
But before that determine the PMT
Given that
NPER = 12 × 2 = 24
RATE = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%
PV = $1,226.50
FV = $1,000;
The formula is shown below
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the monthly payment is
= $66.41 × 2
= $132.82
Now the coupon rate is
= $132.82 ÷ $1,000
= 13.28%

Answer:
<em>$111.11 or 111.11% of face value</em>
Explanation:
Assuming the face value of $100 for all bonds (without loss of generality)
If the two year coupon bond is repackaged as a one year zero coupon bond paying $12 after one year and another two year bond paying $112 after 2 years, the price of the two zero coupon bonds are given as
Price of one year Zero coupon bond = 12/1.05 = $11.43 (one year ZCB has YTM of 5%)
Price of two year Zero coupon bond = 112/1.06^2 = $99.68 (two year ZCB has YTM of 6%)
So, one can sell the repackaged bonds at a price = $11.43+ $99.68 = $111.11 or 111.11% of face value
