a

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =40
Bond Price =? [(10*1000/100)/(1 + 12/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 12/100)^40
                   k=1
Bond Price = 835.12

b

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =20
Bond Price =? [(10*1000/100)/(1 + 12/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 12/100)^20
                   k=1
Bond Price = 850.61

c

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =5
Bond Price =? [(10*1000/100)/(1 + 12/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 12/100)^5
                   k=1
Bond Price = 927.9
