1

                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =8x2
Bond Price =? [(10*1000/200)/(1 + 8.5/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 8.5/200)^8x2
                   k=1
Bond Price = 1085.8

2

                  K = Time to callx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTC/2)^k]     +   Call Price/(1 + YTC/2)^Time to callx2
                   k=1
                  K =5x2
1100 =? [(8*1000/200)/(1 + YTC/200)^k]     +   1050/(1 + YTC/200)^5x2
                   k=1
YTC% = 6.49

3

                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =10x2
1100 =? [(8*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/200)^10x2
                   k=1
YTM% = 6.62
