The answer has been attached in detail

How to find the price per bond of x

  • Required no. of coupon for each given amount = (Amount required × 10^9) ÷ 1,000

  • Amount in billion = (Required no. of coupon × given price) ÷ 10^9

Balance = Total - Available

= 290.11 - 436.11

= 146

Price per bond, x = (Balance × 10^9) ÷ Required no. of coupon

= (146 × 10^9) / 160,000,000

= 912.48

Approximately,

Price per bond = 912
