1. You are considering purchasing a $10,000 bond on January 14, 2021. The bond matures on July 14, 2022 and pays semi-annual coupons at i⁽²⁾ = 6.5%. Assuming you require a yield rate of i⁽²⁾ = 4.5%,

1. Calculate the values of P, k, I (= k Fr), and Q every 10 days, starting on January 14, 2021 and going until July 14, 2022. (Make sure you calculate the values on July 14/21, January 14/22 and July 14/22 in addition to the values every 10 days). You will need to figure out how Excel can count the number of days to help you calculate the values of k. (5 marks)
2. Graph the values of P and Q from (a) on the same graph, using a line graph. (4 marks)

PLEASE USE EXCEL!!!!! THANKS!
