Answer 1

The Value of Bond-C

The Value the Bond is the Present Value of the Coupon Payments plus the Present Value of the Face Value/Par Value. The Price of the Bond is normally calculated either by using EXCEL Functions or by using Financial Calculator.

Here, the calculation of the Bond Price using financial calculator is as follows

Variables	Financial Calculator Keys	Figures
Face Value [$100]	FV	100
Coupon Amount [$100 x 14% x ½]	PMT	7
Market Interest Rate or Required Rate of Return [14% x ½]	1/Y	7
Time to Maturity [4 Years x 2]	N	8
Bond Price	PV	?

Here, we need to set the above key variables into the financial calculator to find out the Price of the Bond. After entering the above keys in the financial calculator, we get the Price of the Bond = $100.00.

“Therefore, the Value of Bond-C will be $100.00”

If the Coupon rate of the Bond (14.00%) is equal to the Yield to maturity of the Bond (14.00%) of the Bond, then the Value of the Bond will be equal to the Par Value of the Bond ($100.00).
