    B,$1000

    Explanation:

    The price of the bond can be computed using the pv formula in excel which is given below:

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

    rate is the yield to maturity which is 8%

    nper is the time horizon of the bond which is 10 years

    pmt is the yearly coupon amount payable by the bond which is 8%*$1000=$80

    fv is the face value of $1000

    =-pv (8%,10,80,1000)

    =$1000

    The issue price is $1000 which is the same as par, the quick way out is that when coupon rate and yield are the same, the bond is issued at a par value of $1000
