                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =10x2
Bond Price =? [(6*10000/200)/(1 + 8/200)^k]     +   10000/(1 + 8/200)^10x2
                   k=1
Bond Price = 8640.97
                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =10x2
Bond Price =? [(6*10000/200)/(1 + 6/200)^k]     +   10000/(1 + 6/200)^10x2
                   k=1
Bond Price = 10000
