Second, there are the debt securities of Nordea, a Finnish private bank, due on August 18, 2027, and with a coupon of 3.75% per year (issued in dollars). Finally, another option is JP Morgan bonds with a 3-month LIBOR variable coupon plus 0.25%, which mature on December 31, 2025. The discount rate for all public debt is 2.5%, while for private debt it is 3.5%. Likewise, the notional amount of all bonds is $1000, and the current date is July 1, 2023. Answer the following questions: What is the price of US Treasury bonds and Nordea bonds? What is the price of JP Morgan bonds, assuming that the 3 month LIBOR remains constant at 4% until maturity?
