A firm has 10,000 bonds, each with a coupon rate of 4%, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. The bonds mature in 10 years. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the TOTAL VALUE of the firm's bonds?
$5,412,031.51 |

$5,479,821.58 |

$2,531,021.01 |

$7,706,055.89 |
We first find the Present value of the bond or the bond price.
Using a financial calculator, we input the following
N = 20 ( Since there are 10 years and 10*2 = 20 semi-annual periods)
PMT = 20 ( Since 4%/2 = 2% is the semi-annual coupon)
I/Y = 6 ( YTM is 12%, hence yield per period is 12%/2 = 6%)
FV = 1000 ( Par value)
CPT PV, we get
PV = -541.203151
Hence the bond price is $541.203151
TOTAL VALUE of the firm's bonds = 10000*$541.203151
Hence, TOTAL VALUE of the firm's bonds = $5,412,031.51
