Answer:

So the Bond must sell for $1,156.47

Explanation:

FV  -1000

PMT (Payment Per Period)  -120

N  16

Rate  10.00%

PV  $1,156.47

So the Bond must sell for $1,156.47

Reasons could be reduced expected inflation than when Complex issued the bonds, or possibly strong demand for bonds due an improved economy.

It he required return were 12%, the bonds would sell at par, or at 1,000.
