Wesimann Co. issued 15-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 8.1 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a par value of $1,000. If the YTM on these bonds is 6.4 percent, what is the current bond price

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total $1,155.6643

Explanation:

The bond market value will be the discounted cash flow from coupon payment and principal at maturity at the market rate of 6.4%

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

C 40.500 (1,000 x 8.1% / 2 payment per year)

time 28 (14 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.032 (6.4% annual / 2 = 3.2% semiannual)

[tex]40.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.032)^{-28} }{0.032} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $741.6947

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

Maturity   1,000.00

time   28.00

rate  0.032

[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.032)^{28} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   413.97

PV c $741.6947

PV m  $413.9696

Total $1,155.6643
