A company has outstanding bonds with a $ 1,000 par value, a 7% coupon with semiannual payments. What is the bond’s price if there are 9 years to maturity, and the yield to maturity is 9%?
N= | |
I= | |
PV= | |
PMT= | |
FV= |
Information provided:
Par value= future value= $1,000
Coupon rate= 7%/2= 3.50%
Coupon payment= 0.035*1,000= $35
Yield to maturity= 9%/2= 4.50%
Time= 9 years*2= 18 semi-annual periods
The price of the bond is calculated by computing the present value.
The below has to be entered in a financial calculator to compute the present value:
FV= 1,000
PMT= 35
I/Y= 4.50
N= 18
Press the CPT key and PV to compute the present value.
The value obtained is 878.40.
Therefore, the price of the bond is $878.40.
