    Price of bond=$820.72

    Explanation:

    Explanation:

    The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

    Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

    Let us assume the bond had a per value of 1000 and also redeemable at par

    The value of bond for Jasper Inc can be worked out as follows:

    Step 1

    Calculate the PV of interest payments

    Annual interest payment

    = 4.8% * 1000 = 48

    PV of interest payment

    = 48 * (1 - (1.074) ^ (-10) / 0.074)

    = 48 * 6.8955

    =330.9855967

    Step 2

    PV of redemption Value

    PV = 1000 * (1.074) ^ (-10)

    = 489.73

    Step 3

    Price of bond

    =330.98 + 489.73

    =$820.72

    Price of bond=$820.72
