A company has decided to issue 20-year zero-coupon bonds to raise funds. The required return on the bonds will be 6% and face value will be $1,000. What will these bonds sell for at issuance?
Computation of Issue Price of Zero Coupon Bond: |
Time to Maturity = 20 Years |
Face Value = $ 1,000 |
Required Return = 6% |
Issue Price = Present Value of Future Expected Payments |
Issue Price = Present Value of Redemption Value(in case of a Zero Coupon Bond, as no Coupon Payments) |
Issue Price = $1,000 * PV(6%, 20 Years) |
Issue Price = $1,000 / (1+0.06)^20 |
Issue Price = $1,000 / (1.06^20) |
Issue Price = $1,000 / 3.2071 |
Issue Price = $ 311.80 |
