Note: The abbreviations have the following meanings

PVIF= Present Value Interest Factor
PVIFA= Present Value Interest Factor for an Annuity
FVIF= Future Value Interest Factor
FVIFA= Future Value Interest Factor for an Annuity

They can be read from tables or calculated using the following equations
PVIFA( n, r%)= =[1-1/(1+r%)^n]/r%
PVIF( n, r%)= =1/(1+r%)^n
FVIF( n, r%)= =(1+r%)^n
FVIFA( n, r%)= =[(1+r%)^n -1]/r%

1. Valuing a bond and valuing a stock

a. Bond valuation-what is the PV or the appropriate selling price of a 30 year bond which has a 10% coupon, paid annually, and has a 10 years till  maturity, during a time when market interest rates are 5%

To calculate the price 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
Price of bond= PVIF * Redemption value + PVIFA * interest payment per period

PVIFA( n, r%)= =[1-1/(1+r%)^n]/r%
PVIF( n, r%)= =1/(1+r%)^n

Price of bond
Coupon rate= 10.000%
Face value= $1,000
Interest payment per year= $100.00 =10.% x 1000

Frequency= A Annual

No of years to maturity= 10
No of Periods=n= 10 =1 x 10

Discount rate annually= 5.00% Annual
Discount rate per period=r= 5.00% =5.%/1

Price of bond=PVIFA X Interest Payment per period +PVIF X Redemption value

Interest payment per period= $100.00 =100/1
Redemption value= $1,000 =Face ...
