Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 7.8 percent paid annually. |
If the yield to maturity is 8.9 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
Bond price |
€ |
Given:
Face Value - €1000
Coupon Rate - 7.8%
Years to maturity - 20
Yied to Maturity - 8.9%
Current Price (Intrinsic value) of the bond = Present value of all the interest payments and maturity proceeds (using YTM as discount rate)
Interest (yearly) - €78
Maturity Value (assuming Maturity at Par) - €1000
Present Value Annuity factor (8.9%, 20years) - 9.375
Present Value Interest factor (8.9%, 20th year) - 0.1817
Intrinsic Value of Bond (Bond Price) = (78*9.375) + (1000*0.1817) ==> € 898.87
