Compute the price of a 5 percent coupon bond with 20 years left to maturity and a market interest rate of 6.25 percent. (Assume interest payments are semi-annual.) Which statement is correct?
The bond is a premium bond selling at $858.41
The bond is a discount bond selling at $1213.65
The bond is a premium bond selling at $1213.65
The bond is a discount bond selling at $858.41
K = Nx2 |
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2 |
k=1 |
K =20x2 |
Bond Price =∑ [(5*1000/200)/(1 + 6.25/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + 6.25/200)^20x2 |
k=1 |
Bond Price = 858.41 |
