Assume that June 19, 2018 is the settlement date. A bond was issued on November 12, 2005, and matures November 12, 2025. It pays a 4.50% coupon semiannually and has a yield on June 19, 2018 of 7.25%. What was the market rate of the above bond when it was first issued? How would I do this on excel?
Assumption Par Value of Bond is $ 1000
Market Price of Bond = PV of Cash Flows from it.
COupon payments are made semi Annually
i.e on Nov 12 & May 12.
First FInd the Value of Bond on NOV 12- 2019 ( Next Coupon Payment Date)
PVF = 1/(1+0.03625)^n
Disc CF = CF * PVF
Value of Bond on 19-12-2018 is dicounted value of 865.53 @ 2.9% ( 7.25% * 146 / 365 )
= 865.53 * 1 / 1.0290
= 841.14
