Answer:

$105.83

Explanation:

The computation of the selling price of the bond is as follows

Number of coupons remaining = n = 2

Coupon amount = C = 100 × 5% = $5

Maturity amount = FV = $100

Purchase price = P = $90

Selling price = PV of future payments  at 2%

Now

Selling price = S is

= 5 × (P/A,0.02,2) + 100 × (P/F,0.02,2)

= 5 × 1.9416 + 100 × 0.9612

= $105.83
