In the example above, it was requested to calculate what the face value of a bond
should be if it were purchased on Apr 24, 2004, with a maturity date of Jun 4, 2018,
and it provides semi-annual coupon payments of 6% (of face value), and a yield to
maturity of 8%. To meet those conditions, the face value should be $75, and you
would have to pay the seller $77.33.
