1

current yield = coupon rate*par value/current price
8=(6/100)*1000/Bond price
Bond price = 750

Bond is a discount bond as price is less than par value

2

current yield = coupon rate*par value/current price
3=(4/100)*1000/Bond price
Bond price = 1333.33

Bond is a premium bond as price is more than par value

3

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =10
1145.68 =? [(9*1000/100)/(1 + YTM/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/100)^10
                   k=1
YTM% = 6.93
