2) Assume that a company issued a bond with $1,000 face value, 10% coupon rate, 20 years maturity, if this bond is sold after 5 years, how much this bond will be sold if the yield to maturity (YTM) is 8%? What is the current yield?
Bond Valuation: The value of bond is the present value of the expected cashflows from the bond,discounted at Yield to Maturity(YTM).
Prima facie, the bond will trade at Premium as YTM<coupon rate
Year | Cash flow | PVAF/PVF@8% | Present Value (Cashflow*PVAF/PVF) |
1-20 | 100 | 9.8181* | 981.81 |
20 | 1000 | 0.2146** | 214.55 |
Current Market Price of Bonds = Cashflow*PVAF/PVF
= 981.81+214.55
= $1196.36
Current Yield = Annual interest/Current Market Price
= 100/1196.36
= 8.36%
Year | Cash flow | PVAF/PVF@8% | Present Value (Cashflow*PVAF/PVF) |
1-15 | 100 | 8.5595* | 855.95 |
15 | 1000 | 0.3152** | 315.24 |
P5 = Cashflow*PVAF/PVF
= 855.95+315.24
= $1171.19
