PLEASE DRAW A CASH FLOW DIAGRAM AND THEN ANSWER! If there is no diagram = Thumbs down!!!!!
A corporate bond has a value of $10,000, a bond interest rate of 8% per year payable semiannually, and a maturity date of 20 years from now. If a person purchases the bond for $9,000 when the interest rate in the market place is 8% per year compounded semiannually, the size and frequency of the interest payments the person will receive are?
There are 20 years to maturity; Bond is semiannual pay bond, hence we will have about 40 time intervals in which we would receive 40 bond coupon payment.
Time 0 = Cash flow = -$9,000 (Initial cost)
Size of interest payment = $400 ; Frequency = 2 payments per year x 20 years = 40
Time 1 to Time 40 = Size and frequency of Interest payment = 10000 x 8% /2 = $400
Time 40 will also have additional payment of principal = $10400
We will sum last two payments i.e. $400 + $10000 = $10,400
