Jim Busby calls his broker to inquire about purchasing a bond of Disk Storage Systems. His broker quotes a price of $1,120. Jim is concerned that the bond might be overpriced based on the facts involved. The $1,000 par value bond pays 12 percent interest, and it has 17 years remaining until maturity. The current yield to maturity on similar bonds is 10 percent.
