Bond Price = Coupon X 1 – 1/(1+i)N + Face Value X 1 i (1+i)

Using the above bond formula, your reading assignments and basic logic, answer each of the following relationship questions in a brief one paragraph posting.

1. Logically explain in your own words the following bond relationship and why it works:
