RJR Nabisco recently experienced a market reevaluation due to a number of tobacco lawsuits. The firm has a $1,000 par value bond outstanding with 15 years to maturity and a coupon rate of 8% with interest being paid semiannually. The required yield to maturity has risen to 16%. What is the price of the RJR Nabisco bond?
K = Nx2 |
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2 |
k=1 |
K =15x2 |
Bond Price =∑ [(8*1000/200)/(1 + 16/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + 16/200)^15x2 |
k=1 |
Bond Price = 549.69 |
