2 years ago, UNCW realized they will face a financial shortfall if they do not issue bonds to cover their spending gap. They sold bonds with a coupon rate of 4% for 10 years. The bonds pay interest semi-annually. You bought the bonds 2 years ago at par value, but now you want to sell them because interest rates have gone up to 6% and you think you can earn more interest with a newer bond. What is the price you can sell these bonds today (2 years later than when issued)?
