Compute the price of a $1,000 par value, 9 percent (semi-annual payment) coupon bond with 30 years remaining until maturity assuming that the bond's yield to maturity is 18 percent? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places and record your answer without dollar sign or commas).
Information provided:
Par value= future value= $1,000
Coupon rate= 9%/2= 4.5%
Coupon payment= 0.045*1,000= $45
Yield to maturity= 18%/2= 9% per semi-annual period
Time= 30 years*2= 60 semi-annual periods
The current price of the bond is calculated by computing the present value.
Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the present value:
FV= 1,000
PMT= 45
I/Y= 9
N= 60
Press the CPT key and PV to calculate the present value.
The value obtained is 502.84.
Therefore, the current price of the bond is 502.84.
