You are considering buying a bond that has a 10-year maturity and a 5% coupon rate. If the yield to maturity is 6%, will this bond sell at par, at a discount or at a premium?

27. You call your broker to inquire about purchasing a bond. He quotes a price of $1,200. You are concerned that the bond might be overprices. The bond is a $1000 PAR value bond that pays 12% annual interest. It has 15 years remaining until maturity. The current yield to maturity on similar bonds is 11%. Is the bond overpriced? You must who your work (what is the PV of the bond).
