Question

Problem 7-5

An investor has two bonds in his portfolio that both have a face value of $1,000 and pay a 8% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 19 years, while Bond S matures in 1 year.

Assume that only one more interest payment is to be made on Bond S at its maturity and that 19 more payments are to be made on Bond L.

What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 4%? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Explanation / Answer

(1) Computation of value of bond L.We have,

   Face value of Bond = $ 1,000

   Coupon Amount    = $ 1,000 x 8 % = $ 80

   Rate of interest     = 4 %

   Number of years   = 19 years.

Value of Bond = Coupon rate x PVIFA(4%, 19 YEARS) + Face value x PVIF( 4% , 19 YEARS)

Value of Bond = 80 x 13.134 + 1,000 X 0.475 = 1,050.715 + 475 = $ 1,526

Hence, The value of bond L is $ 1,526.

(2) Computation of value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 4%.We have,

Face value of Bond = $ 1,000

   Coupon Amount    = $ 1,000 x 8 % = $ 80

   Rate of interest     = 4 %

   Number of years   = 1 years.

Value of Bond = Coupon rate x PVIFA(4%, 1 YEARS) + Face value x PVIF( 4% , 1 YEARS)

Value of Bond = 80 x 0.962 + 1,000 X 0.962 = 76.96+ 962 = $ 1,038.96

Hence, The value of bond S is $ 1,038.96.

(3) Computation of the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 8%.We have,

Face value of Bond = $ 1,000

   Coupon Amount    = $ 1,000 x 8 % = $ 80

   Rate of interest     = 8 %

   Number of years   = 19 years.

Value of Bond = Coupon rate x PVIFA(8%, 19 YEARS) + Face value x PVIF( 8% , 19 YEARS)

Value of Bond = 80 x 7.366 + 1,000 X 0.116 = 589 + 116 = $ 705.

Hence, The value of bond L is $ 705.

(4) Computation of value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 8%.We have,

Face value of Bond = $ 1,000

   Coupon Amount    = $ 1,000 x 8 % = $ 80

   Rate of interest     = 8 %

   Number of years   = 1 years.

Value of Bond = Coupon rate x PVIFA(8%, 1 YEARS) + Face value x PVIF( 8% , 1 YEARS)

Value of Bond = 80 x 0.926 + 1,000 X 0.926 = 74.08+ 926 = $ 1,000.08

Hence, The value of bond S is $ 1,000.08

(5) Computation of the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 12%.We have,

Face value of Bond = $ 1,000

   Coupon Amount    = $ 1,000 x 8 % = $ 80

   Rate of interest     = 12%

   Number of years   = 19 years.

Value of Bond = Coupon rate x PVIFA(12%, 19 YEARS) + Face value x PVIF( 12% , 19 YEARS)

Value of Bond = 80 x 7.365+ 1,000 X 0.116 = 589+ 116 = $ 705

Hence, The value of bond L is $ 705.

(6) Computation of value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 12%.We have,

Face value of Bond = $ 1,000

   Coupon Amount    = $ 1,000 x 8 % = $ 80

   Rate of interest     = 12 %

   Number of years   = 1 years.

Value of Bond = Coupon rate x PVIFA(12%, 1 YEARS) + Face value x PVIF( 12% , 1 YEARS)

Value of Bond = 80 x 0.962 + 1,000 X 0.962 = 76.96+ 962 = $ 1,038.96

Hence, The value of bond S is $ 1,038.96.
