    The independent cases not given in the question are:

    a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual) : 4 percent.

    b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual) : 6 percent.

    c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual) : 8.5 percent.

    At 4% issue price is $583,502.44

    At 6% issue price is $501,500.00

    At 8% issue price is $433,344.51

    Explanation:

    The price of the bond can be computed using the pv value formula in excel.

    =pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    rate is the market interest given in the three cases divided by since the bond is a semi-annual interest paying bond. for example 4%/2=2%

    nper is the time to maturity multiplied by 2 i. e 10*2=20

    pmt is the coupon interest receivable by investor semi-annually which is 6%/2*$501,500=$15045

    fv is the face value at $501,500

    at 4%

    =pv (2%,20,15045,501500)

    =$583,502.44

    at 6%

    =pv (3%,20,15045,501500)

    =$501,500.00

    At 8%

    =pv (4%,20,15045,501500)

    =$433,344.51
