    Coupon rate = 5.07%

    Yield to maturity = 4.84%

    Rate = Yield/2 = 2.42%

    N = 14 = 14*2 semiannually = 28 semiannually

    Face value = $1000

    PMT = (face value*coupon rate) / 2 = $25.35

    Need to find price which is PV

    Using the financial calculator, PV = $1023

    Number of bonds to be issued = 41,000,000/1023 = 40,078
