Pybus, Inc. is considering issuing bonds that will mature in 20 years with an 8 percent annual coupon rate. Their par value will be $1,000, and the interest will be paid semiannually.

If they receive an A rating, the yield to maturity on similar A bonds is 8.5 percent. What will be the price of these bonds if they receive either an A or an AA rating?
