Bond Price today = $106.71008 rounded off to $106.71

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and r or YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.09 * 100 = $9

Total periods (n)= 10

r or YTM = 8% or 0.08

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 9 * [( 1 - (1+0.08)^-10) / 0.08]  +  100 / (1+0.08)^10

Bond Price = $106.71008 rounded off to $106.71
