                  K = N
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =5
1032 =∑ [(6*1000/100)/(1 + YTM/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/100)^5
                   k=1
YTM% = 5.26
                  K = Nx4
Bond Price =∑ [(Quarterly Coupon)/(1 + YTM/4)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/4)^Nx4
                   k=1
                  K =5x4
1032 =∑ [(6*1000/400)/(1 + YTM/400)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/400)^5x4
                   k=1
YTM% = 5.27
