ANSWER

BOND coupon COUPON YTM TIME PRESENT VALUE
A 10% ANNUAL 10% 8 $1,000.00
B 10% SEMI ANNUALLY 10% 8 $ 1,000.00
C 10% ANNUAL 12% 10 $ 887.00
D 12% ANNUAL 9% 15 $ 1,241.82

Among Bond A and Bond B , stock B is preferrable since it is payable semi anuual and trades at par because they YTM = coupon

Bond C trades at discount since it YTM is more than coupon

Bond D trades at premium since YTM is less than coupon
