Step 1

Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve the first three subparts for you. To get the remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved

 

The price of the bonds can be determined by using an appropriate discount rate for a given number of years.

Step 2

We will be using the PVIFand PVIFA factors to determine the current price of the bonds

1. bond's price if comparable debt yields 10 percent is $893

Bond Price = Coupon×PVIFAk,n + Face value× PVIFk,nk=discount rate = 10%n= time period = 8 yearsBond Price = 1,000×0.08×5.3349 + 1,000×0.4665=426.792 + 466.5=893.29=$893
