Let us say the face value of each bond is $1,000.
Price of a bond is the present value of its cash flows. The cash flows are the coupon payments and the face value receivable on maturity
Price of bond is calculated using PV function in Excel :
rate = 8.93% (YTM of bonds = market interest rate)
nper = 15 (Years remaining until maturity with 1 coupon payment each year)
pmt = 1000 * 8.93% (annual coupon payment = face value * coupon rate)
fv = 1000 (face value receivable on maturity)
PV is calculated to be $1,000.00
Price of each bond = $1,000.00
Sale value of bond issue = $10 million
