A $1000 bond with coupons at 6%, convertible semiannually, matures at par in 10 years. The bond is sold in 22 months with an annual yield to maturity of 8%. Find the sale price assuming simple interest between coupon payments.
Par value = $1,000
Semiannual coupon payment = $1,000 × 6% / 2
= $30
interest for 2 month from 22th month to 24 month = $30 × 2 / 6
= $10.
Accrued interest for 4 month from 18th month to 22 month is $20.
After 24 months, number of year remains in maturity of bond will be 8 year. So price of bond after 24 month is calculcated in excel and screen shot provided below:
So price of bond after 24 month is $883.48.
Price of bond after 22 month = $883.48 - $10
= $873.48
Price of bond after 22 month is $873.48.
