This week's assignment concerns itself with bonds. Part of it involves problem solving, part of it some research along with interpretation of that research. Time value computations must be done using appropriate time value functions in Excel and so you need to submit this assignment in the form of an Excel file. Note that you need to do bond valuation analyses to answer #s 1 and 2 below. Submit your assignment as a single Excel file. Name your file your last name HW10. Be sure you are submitting an Excel file if you submit a file that I can't open, I won't be able to grade your assignment and you will receive no credit for it. The assignment needs to be posted to Blackboard by 11:59 PM on Sunday. Part 1: a 1. A bond was recently quoted at 98. Its face is $1,000 and its coupon is 5%. It matures in 15 years.

You own a bond that is currently quoted at 97, has a face of $1,000, a coupon of 6% and a matures in 10 years. You are considering selling the bond. a. Should you sell it if your discount rate is 7%?
