a. What is the present value of the bond?
If the coupon rate = required rate of return, the present value (price) of the bond= par value = $ 1000
Calculating Present Value of bond
To calculate the present value of the bond we need to calculate / read from tables the values of
PVIF= Present Value Interest Factor
PVIFA= Present Value Interest Factor for an Annuity
Present Value of bond= PVIF * Maturity value + PVIFA * interest payment per period
PVIFA( n, r%)= =[1-1/(1+r%)^n]/r%
PVIF( n, r%)= =1/(1+r%)^n
