a. What is the value of these bonds when the required interest rate is 5 percent, 10 percent, and 15 percent?
Case : Interest Rate=5%
For Bond S,
Number of coupon payments=n=5
Coupon amount=C=$100
Maturity amount=M=$1000
Interest Rate=r=5%
Value of Bond S= C/r*(1-1/(1+r)^n)+M/(1+r)^n=100/5%*(1-1/(1+5%)^5)+1000/(1+5%)^5=$1216.47
For Bond M,
Number of coupon payments=n=15
Coupon amount=C=$100
Maturity amount=M=$1000
Interest Rate=r=5%
Value of Bond M= C/r*(1-1/(1+r)^n)+M/(1+r)^n=100/5%*(1-1/(1+5%)^15)+1000/(1+5%)^15=$1518.98
For Bond L,
Number of coupon payments=n=30
Coupon amount=C=$100
Maturity amount=M=$1000
Interest Rate=r=5%
Value of Bond L= C/r*(1-1/(1+r)^n)+M/(1+r)^n=100/5%*(1-1/(1+5%)^30)+1000/(1+5%)^30=$1768.62
Case : Interest Rate=10%
For Bond S,
Number of coupon payments=n=5
