    The price of the bond is $104.15

    Explanation:

    The price of the company's new two year debt is the present value of its future cash flows.

    Since the debt pays coupon semi-annually the number of coupons payable over two years is 4 and pays par value with the fourth coupon.

    Yield to maturity is 3.9%+0.8%=4.7%/2=2.35% (semi-annually)

    coupon rate is 6.9%/2=3.45%

    PMT=3.45%*100

    PMT=$3.45

    par value $100

    nper=2*2=4

    Using present value formula in excel

    pv = (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    pv = (2.35%,4,3.45,100)

    pv=$104.15
