I have the following problem. I can come up with the answer manually, but I have to learn how to do it on a HP 10Bll+ Financial Calculator. I know how to use the calculator. I can't figure out which numbers to use for N, I/YR, PV, FV, PMT. Please help.

Media Bias Inc. issued bonds 10 years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 25-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 10 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point in time as described below:

Real rate of return2%

Inflation premium4

Risk premium4

Total return10%

Assume that 10 years later, due to good publicity, the risk premium is now 2 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity.

Compute the new price of the bond. UseAppendix BandAppendix Dfor an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Assume interest payments are annual.)
