find detailed computations in the attached.
Explanation:
The price of the bond can determined using the pv formula in excel as shown below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the semiannual yield to maturity on the bond i.e 14%/2=7%
nper is the number of coupon interests the bond would pay which is 10 years *2 =20 coupon interests
pmt is the semiannual interest payment:$83,000,000*12%*6/12=$4,980,000.00=$4.98 million
fv is the face value of $83 million
=-pv(7%,20,4.98,83)=$74.21 million
