New Business Ventures, Inc., has an outstanding perpetual bond
with a coupon rate of 11 percent that can be called in one year.
The bond makes annual coupon payments and has a par value of
$1,000. The call premium is set at $165 over par value. There is a
60 percent chance that the interest rate in one year will be 13
percent, and a 40 percent chance that the interest rate will be 8
percent. If the current interest rate is 11 percent, what is the
current market price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate
calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g.,
32.16.)
