Roadside Markets has 8.45 percent coupon bonds outstanding that mature in 10.5 years. The bonds pay interest semiannually. What is the market price per bond if the face value is $1,000 and the yield to maturity is 7.2 percent?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total $1,091.0030

Explanation:

The market value of the bond will be the sum of the present value of the cuopon payment and the maturity date:

present alue of cuopon payment will be calculate as present value of an ordinary annuity:

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]

C 42.25   (1,000 face value x 8.45% /2 payment per year)

time 21 (10 years at 2 payment per year+ 1 payment)

rate 0.036   (here we use the YTM rate /2 because there are 2 payment per year)

[tex]42.25 \times \frac{1-(1+0.036)^{-21} }{0.036} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $615.1803

Then, for the present value at maturity, we calculate the present value of a lump sum

[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   21.00

rate  0.036

[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.036)^{21} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   475.82

Finally, we add them both together

PV c $615.1803

PV m  $475.8227

Total $1,091.0030
