(Bond valuation) At the beginning of the year, you bought a $ 1,000 par value corporate bond with an annual coupon rate of 14 percent and a maturity date of 15 years. When you bought the bond, it had an expected yield to maturity of 16 percent. Today the bond sells for $ 1,000. a. What did you pay for the bond? b. If you sold the bond at the end of the year, what would be your one-period return on the investment? Assume that you did not receive any interest payment during the holding period. a. The price you paid for the bond is $ nothing . (Round to the nearest cent.)
Ans:- we will use the PV function of excel to find the price of the bond.
For Price, Rate=16%, Nper=15, Pmt=-$1000*14%=-$140, FV=-$1000.
Return on the bond = [ Selling Price - Purchase Price ] / Purchase Price.
