A $$1,000$ bond has a coupon of $5$ percent and matures after eight years. Assume that the bond pays interest annually.

a$.$ What would be the bond's price if comparable debt yields $7$ percent? Use Appendix $B$ and Appendix $D$ to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

$

b$.$ What would be the price if comparable debt yields $7$ percent and the bond matures after four years? Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

$

c$.$ Why are the prices different in a and $b?$

The price of the bond in a is $($in time$).$ than the price of the bond in $b$ as the principal payment of the bond in $a$ is $$ than the principal payment of the bond in $b$

d$.$ What are the current yields and the yields to maturity in a and $b?$ Round your answers to two decimal places.

The bond matures after eight years:

$CY$: $\%$

YTM: $\%$

The bond matures after four years:

$CY$ : $\%$

YTM: $\%$
