a

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =14
940 =? [(15*1000/100)/(1 + YTM/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/100)^14
                   k=1
YTM% = 16.1

b

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =14
Bond Price =? [(15*1000/100)/(1 + 18/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 18/100)^14
                   k=1
Bond Price = 849.76

c

Do not buy as bond price of 940 is more than your expected price of 849.76
