Respuesta :

Answer:

7.82%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $1,131

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 9.1% ÷ 2 = $45.5

NPER = 21 years × 2 = 42 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  the coupon rate would be 7.82%
