Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given:

  • F = 1000$
  • n = 7
  • Coupon rate = 9%, because  it pays the coupon semiannually, so

=> Coupon payment = 1000*9%/2 = 45

  • Current market rate, YMT=  10%

So the current value of bond is:

C(1- (1+r)^(-n)/r + F/([tex](1+r)^{n}[/tex]

<=>45(1 - (1+0,1)^(-7/0.1)) + 1000(1+0,1)^7

<=> C = $951

So she will buy the bonds at the offered price 943.22 because it is smaller than $951
