Explanation / Answer

Problem 7-1
Bond valuation

Callaghan Motors' bonds have 8 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually, they have a $1,000 par value, the coupon interest rate is 9%, and the yield to maturity is 12%. What is the bond's current market price?

Bond Value = pv(rate, nper,pmt,fv)

Nper  (indicates the period) = 8

PV (indicates the price) = ?

PMT (indicate the annual payment) = 1000*9% = 90

FV (indicates the face value) = 1000

Rate (indicates YTM) = 12%

Bond Value = pv( 12%,8,90,1000)

Bond Value = $ 850.97
