A 7 3/5% bond matures in 10 years. Assuming the coupon is paid annually and the par value is $1,000, what is the value of this bond to an investor requiring a 9% rate of return?
A) $895.71
B) $954.05
C) $910.15
D) $848.83
Par value= future value= $1,000
Time= 10 years
Coupon rate= 7 3/5% 7.60%
Coupon payment= 0.076*1,000= $76
Rate of return= 9%.
The value of the bond is calculated by computing the present value.
The present value is computed by entering the below in a financial caclcualtor:
FV= 1,000
N= 10
PMT= 76
I/Y= 9
Press the CPT key and PV to compute the present value.
The value obtained is 910.15.
Therefore, the value of the bond is $910.15.
Hence, the answer is option c.
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
