Kiss the Sky Enterprises has bonds on the market making semiannual payments, with 18 years to maturity, and selling for $1064. At this price, the bonds yield 7.0 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds? Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 0.0123)
Bond Value = PV of Cash flows arising from it.
Let X be the coupon amount per period
Thus 289.80+20.2905X = $ 1064
20.2905X = $ 774.2
X = $ 38.16
Coupon amount per period = $ 38.16
Coupon amount per anum = $ 38.16 * 12/6
= $ 76.31
Coupon rate = Coupon amount per anum / Face Value
= $ 76.31 / $ 1000
= 0.0763 i.e 7.63%
Pls commment, if any further assistance is required.
