Lisa's new firm plans to issue a permanent callable bond with a par value of $1,000 and a nominal rate of 5% yearly. The nominal interest rate on these bonds will be 8% next year. Then a year from now, the bond's nominal interest rate will be 9% or 6% with the equal probability(50%). These bonds can be redeemed for $1350. If the bond is called when the interest rate decreases, calculate the callable bond price for today?
