Suppose a 10-year, $1,000 bond with an 8% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading for $1,034.74. Complete the steps below using cell references to given data or previous calculations. In some cases, a simple cell reference is all you need. To copy/paste a formula across a row or down a column, an absolute cell reference or a mixed cell reference may be preferred. If a specific Excel function is to be used, the directions will specify the use of that function. Do not type in numerical data into a cell or function. Instead, make a reference to the cell in which the data is found. Make your computations only in the blue cells highlighted below. In all cases, unless otherwise directed, use the earliest appearance of the data in your formulas, usually the Given Data section.
a.	What is the bonds yield to maturity (expressed as an APR with semiannual compounding)?
b.	If the bonds yield to maturity changes to 9% APR, what will the bonds price be?
	Maturity (years)	10
	Face value	$ 1,000
	Coupon rate	8%
	Bond price	$ 1,034.74
a.	What is the bonds yield to maturity (expressed as an APR with semiannual compounding)?
	Coupon
	Number of periods
	Yield to maturity
b.	If the bonds yield to maturity changes to 9% APR, what will the bonds price be?
	Yield to maturity	9%
	Semiannual yield
	Bond price
1	In cell D15, by using cell references, calculate the coupon payment of the bond.
2	In cell D16, by using cell references, calculate the number of periods until maturity.
3	In cell D17, by using cell references, calculate the yield to maturity of the bond. Note: Omit the [type] and [guess] arguments in the RATE function.
4	In cell D23, by using cell references, calculate the semiannual yield to maturity of the bond.
5	In cell D24, by using cell references, calculate the new price of the bond. Note: The output of the expression or function you typed in this cell is expected as a positive number.
