Use the worksheet to compute the bond issue prices and enter them in the spaces provided.

Compare these prices to the bond-carrying values found in the effective interest amortization schedule you originally printed out in requirement 3. Explain the similarity. c. Click the Chart sheet tab. The chart presented shows the price behavior of this bond based on years to maturity. Explain what effect years to maturity has on bond prices.
