About what is the price of a 6% coupon, $1,000 par bond, 20 years to maturity if the yield to maturity is 5%?
a. $1,179.45
b. $1,124.62
c. $1,000.00
d. $885.37
The price of the bond is computed as shown below:
The coupon payment is computed as follows:
= 6% x $ 1,000
= $ 60
So, the price of the bond is computed as follows:
Bonds Price = Coupon payment x [ [ (1 - 1 / (1 + r)n ] / r ] + Par value / (1 + r)n
= $ 60 x [ [ (1 - 1 / (1 + 0.05)20 ] / 0.05 ] + $ 1,000 / 1.0520
= $ 60 x 12.46221034 + $ 376.8894829
= $ 1,124.62 Approximately
