part a and b

They were priced at par, that is, they cost the investor 100 per 100 of face value. The entire amount of borrowed principal would be repaid at maturity.

What was the yield to maturity of NTT's debentures at the time of issuance? What would it have been if the bonds were priced at 99 instead of 100 (i.e., at 99% of face value)? at 101 instead of 100?
