Suppose that you purchased a A rated $5000 annual coupon bond with an 6.9% coupon rate and a 13-year maturity at par value. The current rate on 13-year US treasuries is 3%. Two years later, you look in the newspaper, and find that the yield on comparable debt is 9.345%, how much is the bond currently worth?
Face/Par Value of bond = $5000
Annual Coupon Bond = $5000*6.9%
= $345
No of years to maturity from now (n) = 13 years - 2 years = 11
Current Yield on comparable Bonds(YTM) = 9.345%
Calculating the Market price of Bond:-
Price = $2309.993+ $1871.465
Price = $4181.46
So, the bond currently worth is $4181.46
