EAR = [(1 +stated rate/no. of compounding periods) ^no. of compounding periods - 1]* 100
Effective Annual Rate = ((1+4.5/2*100)^2-1)*100
Effective Annual Rate% = 4.55
                  K = Nx12
Bond Price =? [(Monthly Coupon)/(1 + YTM/12)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/12)^Nx12
                   k=1
                  K =8x12
Bond Price =? [(5.5*15000/1200)/(1 + 4.5506/1200)^k]     +   15000/(1 + 4.5506/1200)^8x12
                   k=1
Bond Price = 15953.44
