Question: Basic bond valuation Complex Systems has an outstanding issue of $1,000-par-value bonds with a \(12 \%\) coupon interest rate. The issue pays interest annually and has 16 years remaining to its maturity date.

1. If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a \(10 \%\) rate of return, how much should the Complex Systems bond sell for today?
2. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on similar-risk bonds is below the coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond.
3. If the required return were at \(12 \%\) instead of \(10 \%\), what would the current value of Complex Systems' bond be? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss.
