    Explanation:

    Nper = ? (indicates the period)

    PV = 767.50 (indicates the price)

    FV = 1000 (indicates the face value)

    Rate = 8.49%/2 (indicates semi-annual YTM)

    PMT = 1000 x 6.30% x 1/2 = 31.50 (indicates the amount of interest payment)

    Period = Nper (Rate, PMT, PV, FV) / 2 = Nper (8.49%/2,31.50,-767.50,1000) / 2 = 27.85 Years

    9.25 years

    Explanation:

    Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. These cash flows include the coupon payment and the maturity payment of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

    According to given data

    Assuming the Face value of the bond is $1,000

    Coupon payment = C = $1,000 x 6.3 = $63 annually = $31.5 semiannually

    Current Yield = r = 8.49% / 2 = 4.245% semiannually

    Market value = $767.50

    Market Value of the Bond = $31.5 x [ (1 - (1 + 4.425%) ^-n) / 4.425% ] + [ $1,000 / (1 + 4.425%) ^n ]

    Market Value of the Bond = $31.5 x [ (1 - (1 + 4.425%) ^-n) / 4.425% ] + [ $1,000 / (1 + 4.425%) ^n ]

    n = 18.53 / 2

    n = 9.25 years
