current market price:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.5%)²⁶ = $

PV of coupon payments = $45 x 16.89035 (PV annuity factor, 3.5%, 26 periods) = $760.07

current market price = $408.84 + $760.07 = $1,168.91

price in 1 year:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.5%)²⁴ = $437.96

PV of coupon payments = $45 x 16.05837 (PV annuity factor, 3.5%, 24 periods) = $722.63

market price = $437.96 + $722.63 = $1,160.59

price in 3 years:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.5%)²⁰ = $502.57

PV of coupon payments = $45 x 14.2124 (PV annuity factor, 3.5%, 20 periods) = $639.56

market price = $502.57+ $639.56 = $1,142.13

price in 8 years:
