If a bond has annual interest payments of $50 and a par value of $1,000, with six years to maturity, what is its current market value if bonds like it are currently offering a 7 percent yield?
Information provided:
Par value= future value= $1,000
Annual payment= $50
Time= 6 years

FV= 1,000
PMT= 50
N= 6
I/Y= 7
Enter the CPT key and PV to calculate the present value.
The value obtained is 904.67.
Therefore, the current market value of the bond is $904.67.
