Lycan, Inc., has 8.5 percent coupon bonds on the market that
have 8 years left to maturity. The bonds make annual payments and
have a par value of $1,000.
If the YTM on these bonds is 10.5 percent, what is the current bond
price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round
your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Current bond price
$
Par value (or face value)=$1000
Time to maturity or number of periods=8 years
Coupon rate=8.5% and the coupon payments are made annually
Coupon payments=Par value*Coupon rate=$1000*8.5%=$85
Yield to maturity=10.5%
Now, we can calculate the present value of the bond using
excel.
The current value of the bond=$895.22
Note: As the present value is a cash outflow, it is shown as negative in excel.
