                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =12x2
Bond Price =? [(9*1000/200)/(1 + 9.45/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 9.45/200)^12x2
                   k=1
Bond Price = 968.11 = PURCHASE PRICE
                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =11x2
Bond Price =? [(9*1000/200)/(1 + 8.2/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 8.2/200)^11x2
                   k=1
Bond Price = 1057.26 = Selling price
rate of return = ((selling price+coupon)/purchase price-1)*100

=((1057.26+90)/968.11-1)*100=18.51%
