Answer:

a. $775.92

Explanation:

For determining the bond price we have to use the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 12%

NPER = 20 years

PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula we can get the price of the bond is $775.92
