Solution Preview

1) Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 15 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 6.5 percent paid annually.

If the yield to maturity is 7.6 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Current price €

Rate (YTM) = 7.60%
Number of periods = 15
Coupon amount per period (PMT) € 65.00
Maturity value, FV = € 1,000.00

Current bond price = € 903.50 [using PV function]

2) Page Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eight years to maturity, and selling for $952. At this price, the bonds yield 6.10 percent.

What must the coupon rate be on the bonds? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Coupon rate %

Rate (YTM) = 6.10%
Number of payments = 8
Current bond price, PV = $952
Maturity value, Fv = $1,000

Annual coupon amount = $53.24 [Using pmt () function)

Annual coupon amount works out to $53.24.
Therefore, annual coupon rate = $53.24/$1,000  5.32%

3) Martin Software has 8.8 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 107.2 percent of par.

What is the current yield on the bonds? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Current yield %

Current market price = $1,000 * 107.2%  $1,072
Annual coupon amount = $1,000 * 8.8%  $88
Current yield = Annual coupon amount/Current market price = 88/1072  8.21%

What is the YTM? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

YTM %

Number of periods, nper [19 years * twice a year] 38
Payments per period [$1000*8.8%*6/12] $ 44
