    Case A:$100,000

    Case B:$111,164.76

    Case C:$94,967.05

    Explanation:

    The issue price of the bond can be computed using the excel pv formula stated below:

    =-pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    Case A:

    Rate is the market interest rate of 8%

    nper is the number of coupon interest payable by the bond which is 7

    pmt is the annual coupon interest of $8,000 (8%*$100,000)

    fv is the face value of $100,000

    =-pv (8%,7,8000,100000) = $100,000

    Case B:

    Rate is the market interest rate of 6%

    nper is the number of coupon interest payable by the bond which is 7

    pmt is the annual coupon interest of $8,000 (8%*$100,000)

    fv is the face value of $100,000

    =-pv (6%,7,8000,100000) = $111,164.76

    Case C:

    Rate is the market interest rate of 9%

    nper is the number of coupon interest payable by the bond which is 7

    pmt is the annual coupon interest of $8,000 (8%*$100,000)

    fv is the face value of $100,000

    =-pv (9%,7,8000,100000) = $94,967.05
