Youngblood Inc. issued 12% bonds 10 years ago to finance a plant expansion. These bonds mature 4 years from today and are priced to yield 8%. Find the intrinsic value of these bonds.
Bond Valuation: The value of bond is the present value of the expected cashflows from the bond,discounted at Yield to Maturity(YTM).
Year | Cash flow | PVAF/PVF@8% | Present Value (Cashflow*PVAF/PVF) |
1-4 | 120 | 3.3121* | 397.46 |
4 | 1000 | 0.7350** | 735.03 |
Intrinsic Value of Bonds = Cashflow*PVAF/PVF
= 397.46+735.03
= 1132.49
*PVAF = (1-(1+r)^-n)/r
**PVF = 1 / (1+r)^n
Note: It is general practice to take $1,000 as face value when no details are given.
