Question: At one point, certain U.S. Treasury bonds were callable. Consider the prices in the following three Treasury issues as of May 15, 2017: 05/15/2020 6.10

At one point, certain U.S. Treasury bonds were callable. Consider the prices in the following three Treasury issues as of May 15, 2017:

05/15/2020 6.10 108.46875 108.53125 .31250 3.100
05/15/2020 7.15 109.00000 109.06250 .09375 3.920
05/15/2020 8.00 114.06250 114.25000 .46875 3.000

The bond in the middle is callable in February 2018. What is the implied value of the call feature? Assume a par value of $1,000. (Hint: Is there a way to combine the two noncallable issues to create an issue that has the same coupon as the callable bond?) (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
