Midland Oil has $1,000 par value bonds outstanding at 8 percent interest. The bonds will mature in 25 years. Compute the current price of the bonds if the present yield to maturity is:
a. 7 percent.
b. 10 percent.
c. 13 percent.

The current price of the bond is the Present Value (PV) of the interest and principal. The discounting rate is the YTM. The interest amount is $80 and is an annuity. The PV can be found using the PVIFA table. The principal repayment is a lump sum and the PV can be found using the PVIF table.
a. 7%
Present Value of Interest Payments
PVA = A x PVIFA (n = 25, i = 7%)
PVA = $80 x 11.654 = $932.32
Present Value of Principal Payment at Maturity
PV = FV x PVIF (n = 25, i = 7%)
PV = $1,000 x .184 = $184
Total Present Value
Present Value of Interest Payments $ 932.32
Present Value of Principal Payments 184.00
Total Present Value or Price of the Bond $1,116.32

b. 10 percent yield to maturity

PVA = A x PVIFA (n = 25, i = 10%)
PVA = $80 x 9.077 = $726.16
PV = FV x PVIF (n = 25, i = 10%)
PV = $1,000 x .092 = $92
The price today is 726.16+92=$818.16

c. 13 percent yield to maturity

PVA = A x PVIFA (n = 25, i = 13%)
PVA = $80 x 7.330 = $586.40
PV = FV x PVIF (n = 25, i = 13%)
PV = $1,000 x .047 = $47
The price is 586.40+47=$633.40

Harrison Ford Auto Company has a $1,000 par value ...
