Compute the price of a $1,000 par value, 8 percent (semi-annual payment) coupon bond with 28 years remaining until maturity assuming that the bond's yield to maturity is 18 percent? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places and record your answer without dollar sign or commas).

Explanation / Answer

FV = 1,000

Payment = 9% * 1,000 = 90

N = 21

I = 12%

Using FInancial Calculator:

PV = 773.14

Part 2

FV = 1,000

Payment = 8%/ 2 * 1,000 = 40

N = 28 * 2 = 56

I = 18%/2 = 9%

Using FInancial Calculator:

PV = 448.90
