A 10-year bond with a face value of $1000 earns interest at 9.7% convertible semiannually. If the bond sells for $1057.07 to yield an investor 7.5% convertible semiannually, what is the redemption value?
C = $
Semiannual interest = 1000*.097 *6/12 = 48.50
semiannual months = 10 *2 = 20
semiannual yield = 7.5 *6/12 = 3.75%
Price = [PVA 3.75%,20*Interest ] +[PVF 3.75%,20*Redemption value]
1057.07 =[13.89620*48.50] + [.47889*RV]
1057.07 = 673.97+ .47889 RV
Redemption value = [1057.07-673.97]/.47889
= 383.10/.47889
= $ 799.97 [rounded to 800]
