    The company should set a coupon rate of 7.79% on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par.

    Explanation:

    face value = 1000

    year = 18

    current price = 1134

    coupon value = 94

    coupon rate = [ (18*2 + 94/2) / (1000 + 1134) ]*2

    = 7.79%

    Therefore, The company should set a coupon rate of 7.79% on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par.
