Answer #1

Formula for bond price can be used to compute coupon payment and then coupon rate.

Bond price = C x [1 – (1+r)-n/r] + F/(1+r) n

F = Face value = R 1,250

C = Periodic coupon payment = Face value x Coupon rate/Annual coupon frequency

                                                = R 1,250 x Coupon Rate

r = Rate of return = 0.14

n = Number of periods to maturity = 15

Bond price = C x [1 – (1+0.014)-15]/0.033 + R 1,250/ (1+0.14) 15

                  R 1,096 = C x [1 – (1.14)-15]/0.014 + R 1,250 x (1.14) -15

                  R 1,096 = C x [(1 – 0.140096482069159)/0.14] + R 1,250 x 0.140096482069159

                  R 1,096 = C x (0.859903517930841/0.14) + R 175.120602586448

                  R 1,096 = C x 6.14216798522029 + R 175.120602586448

                  C x 6.14216798522029 = R 1,096 - R 175.120602586448                                           

                                                        = R 920.879397413552

                   C = R 920.879397413552/6.14216798522029

                      = R 149.927419704156

           R 1,250 x Coupon rate = R 149.927419704156

           Coupon rate = R 149.927419704156/ R 1,250

                                = 0.1199419357633 or 12 %

Bond’s coupon rate is 12 %.
