A newly issued 10-year maturity, 6% coupon bond making annual coupon payments is sold to the public at a price of $730. The bond will not be sold at the end of the year. The bond is treated as an original-issue discount bond. a. Calculate the constant yield price. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What will be an investor's taxable income from the bond over the coming year?

Answer:

Yield price at year-end $746.55

taxable income: capital gain + coupon payment

16.55 + 60  = $76.55

Explanation:

First we solve for the yield, which is the rate at which the discounted maturity and bond coupon payment matches the market price:

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

C 60.000

time 10

rate 0.104863443

[tex]60 \times \frac{1-(1+0.104863442947447)^{-10} }{0.104863442947447} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $361.0956

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

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.104863443

[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.104863442947447)^{10} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   368.90

PV c $361.0956

PV m  $368.9045

Total $730.0001

So the market rate is 10.49%

Now we solve for the value of the bond at year-end:

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

C 60.000

time 9

rate 0.104863443

[tex]60 \times \frac{1-(1+0.104863442947447)^{-9} }{0.104863442947447} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $338.9613

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

Maturity   1,000.00

time   9.00

rate  0.104863443

[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.104863442947447)^{9} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   407.59

PV c  $ 338.96

PV m $ 407.59

Total  $ 746.55
