    Price of Bond = $1,147.201

    Explanation:

    The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

    Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

    The value of bond for Morgan can be worked out as follows:

    Step 1

    PV of interest payments

    PV of interest =

    A * (1+r) ^ (-n) / r

    A - interest payment - 80, r-yield on bond - 6%, n-years to maturity - 10

    80 * (1 - (1.06) ^ (-10)

    = 588.8069

    Step 2

    PV of Redemption Value

    = 1,000 * (1.06) ^ (-10)

    = 558.3947769

    Price of bond

    = 588.80 + 558.394

    Price of Bond = $1,147.201
