Suppose a U.S. Government bond will pay $1,000 three years from now. If the going interest rate on 3‐year government bondsis 4%, how much isthe bond worth today?

Respuesta :

Answer: $1120

Explanation:

I = PxRxT/100

= 1000 x 4 x 3 / 100

= $120

Yearly the bond gave a dividend of $40 which makes it $120 after 3years.

Present value of the bond

= $1000 + $120

= $1120

The value of the  U.S. Government bond is $889.

Present value is the value of a cashflow today. It is determined by discounting he cash flow at the interest rate.

Present value = cashflow / (1 + interest rate)^n

n = number of years

$1000 / (1.04³) = $889
