1. A company issued an 8-year corporate bond with a face value of $1000. The coupon rate is 7% and the yield to maturity is 6%. The price of the bond should be:
2. A bond’s credit rating provides a guide to its risk. Suppose long-term bonds rated Aa offer yields to maturity of 9.7%. A-rated bonds sell at yields of 10.1%.
