A zero coupon bond has a maturity of 11 years. If the annual yield to maturity is 8.1%, what is the current price of this bond? (Answer to the nearest penny, i.e. 999.99 but do not use a $ sign)
Information provided:
Par value= future value= $1,000
Time= 11 years
Yield to maturity= 8.10%
The price of the bond is computed by calculating the present value of the bond.
The present value is computed by entering the below in a financial calculator:
FV= 1,000
N= 11
I/Y= 8.10
Press the CPT key and PV to calculate the present value.
The value obtained is 424.54.
Therefore, the price of the bond is 424.54.
