Bond X is no callable and has 20 years to maturity, a 8% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. Your required return on Bond X is 11%; and if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. You (and the market) have expectations that in 5, years the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 11%.

How much should you be willing to pay for Bond X today? (Hint: You will need to know how much the bond will be worth at the end of 5 years.) Round your answer to the nearest cent.

You are considering a 20-year, $1,000 par value bond. Its coupon rate is 8%, and interest is paid semi-annually. If you require an "effective" annual interest rate (not a nominal rate) of 10.94%, how much should you be willing to pay for the bond? Do not round intermediate steps.
