Principal = $1000
Time to maturity (n) = 3 years
Coupon rate (i) = 10%
Market rate of return = 12%
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 10% = $ 100
where, C= coupon payment
i = market interest rate
n = number of payments
M = par value
Present Value of Interest Payments = 100/(1.12)
+ 100/(1.12)2 + 100/(1.12)3
= 89.2857 + 79.7194 + 71.178
= 240
Present Value of principal = 1000 /
(1.12)3
= 712
Net Present Value of a Bond on 31 December 20X0
= Present value of principal + Present value of interest
payments
= 712 + 240
= 952
