Since coupon rate > market rate, the bonds will sell at a premium.

Price is the sum of the discounted cash flows.

Value of the coupon payments...

use Present Value ordinary annuity "PVoa"

coupon rate: 0.10 / 2 semi-annual periods = 0.05

coupon (PMT): 44m * 0.05 = 2.2m

r = 0.08 / 2 = 0.04

n = 8 yrs * 2 times per yr = 16

PVoa = PMT[(1 - (1 / (1 + r)^n)) / r]

= 2.2m[(1 - (1 / 1.04^16)) / 0.04]

= 2.2m[(1 - 0.53391) / 0.04]

= 2.2m[11.6523]

= $25,635,050.34

PV of par: 44,000,000 / 1.04^16 = 23,491,959.73

Add the two together for Price: $49,127,010.07

You need to determine the PV of $44 mil, N 16, R 4% (23,491,960) plus the PV of an Annuity of 2.2 mil, also with N 16, R 4%. ( 25,635,050) Total PV and Price = 49,127,010
