1. We have the opportunity to buy a 10-year (original term) bond with 7 years of semi-annual coupon payments remaining. The annual coupon rate is set at 5% ($25 semi-annual payment). If the current Yield to Maturity (prevailing market rate on comparable bonds) is approximately 6.5%, estimate the appropriate purchase price of the bond.
