A bond offers a coupon rate of 5%, paid semiannually, and has a maturity of 20 years. If the current market yield is 8%, what should be the price of this bond?
We need to present value of all cash inflow
Since bond interest payment is semi annual interest =5%/2*1000 =$25
Market yield rate is used for calculating PV factor 8%/2 =4%
No of period =20*2 =40 periods
Cash Flow | PV Factor 4% period 40 | Present Value | |
Interest 1000*5%/2 | 25 | 19.7928 | $ 494.82 |
Maturity value | 1000 | 0.2083 | $ 208.29 |
Value of Bond | $ 703.11 |
