Answer 1

Value of Bind = PV of Cash Flows from it.

Value of Bond = [ Int per anum * PVAF(r%, n) ] + [ Maturity Value * PVF (r%, n ]

PVAF = sum of PVF (r%, n)

where r is YTM and n is No. of years.

Value of Bond if YTM is 5%:

Value of Bond = [ Int per anum * PVAF(r%, n) ] + [ Maturity Value * PVF (r%, n ]

= [ 170 * PVAF (5%, 50) ] + [ 1000 * PVF(5%, 50) ]

= [ 170 * 18.2559 ] + [ 1000* 0.0872 ]

= 3103.51 + 87.20

= 3190.71

Value of Bond if YTM is 9%:

Value of Bond = [ Int per anum * PVAF(r%, n) ] + [ Maturity Value * PVF (r%, n ]

= [ 170 * PVAF (9%, 50) ] + [ 1000 * PVF(9%, 50) ]

= [ 170 * 10.9617 ] + [ 1000* 0.0134 ]

= 1863.49 + 13.45

= 1876.94

PVAF, PVF are taken from PVAF table and PVF table respectively.
