You are called in as a financial analyst to appraise the bonds
of Olsen’s Clothing Stores. The $1,000 par value bonds have a
quoted annual interest rate of 13 percent, which is paid
semiannually. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 10 percent
annual interest. There are 10 years to maturity. Use Appendix B and
Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final
answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
a. Compute the price of the bonds based on
semiannual analysis. (Do not round intermediate
calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. With 5 years to maturity, if yield to maturity
goes down substantially to 8 percent, what will be the new price of
the bonds? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round
your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
a.Future value= $1,000
Coupon rate= 13%/2= 6.50%
Coupon payment= 0.0650*1,000= $65
Time= 10 years*2= 20 semi-annual periods
Yield to maturity= 10%/2= 5%
The price of the bond is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
FV= 1,000; PMT= 65; N= 20; I/Y= 5
Press CPT and PV to calculate the price of the bond.
The price of the bond is $1,186.93.
b.Future value= $1,000
Coupon rate= 13%/2= 6.50%
Coupon payment= 0.0650*1,000= $65
Time= 5 years*2= 10 semi-annual periods
Yield to maturity= 8%/2= 4%
The price of the bond is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
FV= 1,000; PMT= 65; N= 10; I/Y= 4
Press CPT and PV to calculate the price of the bond.
The new price of the bond is $1,202.77.
