Problem 1
Suppose a corporation's bonds have 8 years remaining to maturity. In addition, suppose the bonds have
a $1000 face value, and the coupon interest rate is 7%. The bonds have a yield to maturity of 10%. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
a) Compute the market price of the bonds if interest is paid annually.
Number of periods=NPER=8
Maturity amount=Face Value=FV=$1,000
Coupon amount=PMT=1000*7%=$70
YTM=RATE=10%
Type of payment=TYPE=0 Coupon is paid at the end of period
Current Market price can be found by using PV function in MS Excel.
Current Market Price=PV=($839.95) =PV(E10,E7,E9,E8,E11)
Current Market Price=$839.95
b) Compute the market price of the bonds if interest is paid semiannually.
Number of periods=NPER=8*2=16 Coupon is paid semiannually
Maturity amount=Face Value=FV=$1,000
Coupon amount=PMT=1000*7%/2=$35
YTM=RATE=10%/2=5% Semi annual
Type of payment=TYPE=0 Coupon is paid at the end of period
Current Market price can be found by using PV function in MS Excel.
Current Market Price=PV=($837.43) ...
