Price of bond will be equal to PV of bond
PV = FV/(1+r)^n
n = number of periods
r=discount rate
FV = Future value
Case 1
FV=$1,000
r =5%
n=10
Put these values in the above formula and get PV,
PV = 1000/(1.05)^10=613.91
Case 2
FV=$1,000
r =10%
n=10
Put these values in the above formula and get PV,
PV = 1000/(1.1)^10= 385.54
Case 2
FV=$1,000
r =15%
n=10
Put these values in the above formula and get PV,
PV = 1000/(1.15)^10=247.18
