    A)

    CR Semi annually 7.2/2 3.6%

    Semi Annual Cash-flow 1000*3.6% 36

    Rate of Return 15.5 7.75%

    Present value of bond at 7.75% semmi annually return

    Due to series of c/F apply annuity 1 - (1+0.0775) ^-20

    Due to one single c/F apply compound 1 / (1+0.0775) ^20

    C)

    There is no transaction cost and CR = IRR thats why the present value of the bond will be equal to face value of bond

    CR = 15.5%

    IRR = 15.5%
