Answer #1

Price of Bond Today = "PV(rate, nper, pmt, [fv])"

  • Rate    Required. The interest rate per period.

  • Nper    Required. The total number of payment periods in an annuity.

  • Pmt    Required. The payment made each period and cannot change over the life of the annuity.

  • Fv    Optional. The future value, or a cash balance you want to attain after the last payment is made.

Price of Bond Today = "PV(rate, nper, pmt, [fv])"

Price of Bond Today = "PV(0.06, 14, 40, 1000)"

Price of Bond Today = $814.10

Return on Investment = (Sale Price - Purchase + Coupon) / Purchase Price

Return on Investment = (814.10 - 1000 + 80) / 1000

Return on Investment = -10.60%
