A 7 year bond with a coupon rate of 6% was issued 4 years ago. It has a $1,000 face value andpays a quarterly coupon. If the yield to maturity is 8%, which of the following gives the bond price?(a) 80/(1.06) + 80/(1.06)2 + … + 1080/(1.06)7(b) 60/(1.08) + 60/(1.08)2 + … + 1060/(1.08)7(c) 20/(1.015) + 20/(1.015)2 + … + 1020/(1.015)12(d) 15/(1.02) + 15/(1.02)2 + … + 1015/(1.02)129.
