You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 13 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 5 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods. What is the dollar price of the bond

Respuesta :

The answer is $5262.347.

Given,

Zero coupon bond with par value = $10,000

Maturity time period (in years) = 13 years

Yield to maturity (YTM) (in percentage) = 5% = 0.05

semi-annual compounding periods.

Semi-annual compounding periods mean that the interest received on this bond will be compounded semi-annually.

The formula for the valuation of the bond is as follows:

Value of bond = [tex]\frac{Par value}{(1+\frac{YTM}{2}) ^{(2*time period)} }[/tex]

Now substituting the given values in the above mentioned formula for the valuation of the bond we get,

                       =[tex]\frac{10,000}{(1+\frac{0.05}{2}) ^{(2*13)} }[/tex]

                       =[tex]\frac{10,000}{(1+0.025) ^{26} }[/tex]

                       = [tex]\frac{10,000}{(1.025)^{26} }[/tex]

                       =  10,000 / 1.9002927

                       = $5262.347

Hence, the dollar price of the bond is $5262.347.
