A 12-year bond with a face value of $5000 is redeemable at par and earns interest at j2= 9.2%. If the yield rate is j2= 7.8%, find the book value 2 months before the payment of the 9th coupon. Use compound interest for points in time between coupon payments.
Answer : - Book value of bond before the 9th coupen = $2,172.11
.
Explanations :-
Particulas | formula | |
Annual Yield Rate (rate) | 7.8% | |
Years to maturity (nper) | 4 | 12-8 |
Coupen payment (pmt) | $460 | $5000 × 9.2%) |
Maturity value at end (fv) | $5000 | |
Note : if the question say, the interest is paid semi annually, then devide the yield to maturity with 2 , yaers to maturity chanf from 4 to 16 ( 12 × 2 - 8), and coupen payment will divided with 2
Book value
of the bond can be calculated by using the following excel
formula:
=PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
