K = Nx2

Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2

k=1

K =10x2

Bond Price =? [(7*1000/200)/(1 + 5.5/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + 5.5/200)^10x2

k=1

Bond Price = 1114.2

K = Nx2

Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2

k=1

K =3x2

1081.95 =? [(5*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + YTM/200)^3x2

k=1

YTM% = 2.16
