Pybus, Inc. is considering issuing bonds that will mature in 15 years with an annual coupon rate of 7 percent. Their par value will be $1,000, and the interest will be paid semiannually. Pybus is hoping to get a AA rating on its bonds and, if it does, the yield to maturity on similar AA bonds is 11.5 percent. However, Pxbus, is not sure whether the new bonds will receive a AA rating. If they receive an A rating, the yield to maturity on similar A bonds is 12.5 percent. What will be the price of these bonds if they receive either an A or a AA rating?
