Expert Solution
Step 1

A bond is a debt instrument where a loan (in the form of bond price) is received by a company, which is then repaid along with interest (in the form of coupons and face value).

The fair price of a bond is the price determined by the market trends without any bias and freely accepted by all the concerned parties.
