Problem 2: The US government issues a Treasury bond that matures in 5 years, has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon yield of 10 percent, and pays semi-annual coupons. Suppose the Yield To Maturity (YTM) of similar bonds is 8%, What is the price of this Treasury bond? Suppose the YTM was 12% instead.

After holding the bond for 6 months, you receive one coupon payment and then you immediately sell the bond for a price of $110 (per $100 of face value). Compute the holding period return (the YTM is 8%).
