You can put this solution on YOUR website! There seems to be a discrepancy in the given information. You state that the bond pays coupons of Php 5,000 every six months, but then give "Semi-annual coupons = 1,000".  I will assume the semi-annual coupon payment is Php 5,000, as this aligns with the total payments received.  The Php 1,000 figure will be disregarded. Here's the corrected calculation:
 **1. Number of Periods (n):**
 * Time to maturity = 8 years
 * Semi-annual payments: 8 years * 2 periods/year = 16 periods
 **2. Semi-Annual Coupon Payment (C):**
 * C = Php 5,000
 **3. Semi-Annual Market Rate (r):**
 * Annual market rate = 6%
 * Semi-annual market rate = 6% / 2 = 3% or 0.03
 **4. Present Value of Interest Payments (PV of Annuity):**
 PV of Interest = C * [1 - (1 + r)^-n] / r
 PV of Interest = 5000 * [1 - (1 + 0.03)^-16] / 0.03
 PV of Interest = 5000 * [1 - (1.03)^-16] / 0.03
 PV of Interest = 5000 * [1 - 0.623167] / 0.03
 PV of Interest = 5000 * [0.376833] / 0.03
 PV of Interest = 5000 * 12.5611
 PV of Interest ≈ Php 62,805.50
 **5. Present Value of Lump Sum (PV of Face Value):**
 PV of Lump Sum = FV / (1 + r)^n
 PV of Lump Sum = 120,000 / (1.03)^16
 PV of Lump Sum = 120,000 / 1.604701
 PV of Lump Sum ≈ Php 74,772.10
 **6. Bond Price:**
 Bond Price = PV of Interest + PV of Lump Sum
 Bond Price = 62,805.50 + 74,772.10
 Bond Price ≈ Php 137,577.60
 **Summary:**
 * **Bond Price:** Approximately Php 137,577.60
 * **Present Value of Interest Payments:** Approximately Php 62,805.50
 * **Number of Periods:** 16
 * **Present Value of Lump Sum:** Approximately Php 74,772.10
