1.What happens to the price of a six-year bond with an 8% coupon when interest rates change from 9% to 8%?
2.What is the NPV of a project that costs $285,000 today and no cash inflows for 3 years, followed by cash inflows $95,000 annually for the next five years, if the opportunity cost of capital is 2%?
1. The price if the bond changes by :
The price of the bond when the interest rate is 9% is :
FV = $1000
PMT = 8% * 1000
= $80
N = 6 YEARS
I/Y = 9%
The present value of bond is = $955.1408
When the interest rate is 8%, the PV is
= $1000
So, the price of the bond increases by ( $1000 - $955.1408 = $44.8592)
=$44.86 (rounded off to two decimal places)
2. CF0 = ($285,000)
CF1 = $0
CF2= $0
CF3= $0
CF4 = $95,000
FO4 = 5
I/Y = 2%
THE NPV IS = $136951.8259
= $136951.82
