A $1,000 face value bond currently has a yield to maturity of 11 percent. The bond matures in 14 years and pays interest annually. The coupon rate is 9 percent. What is the current price of this bond?
Answer
Bond price = C*1-(1+r)-1/r+F/(1+r)n
F(face value) =1000
Coupon rate =9%
C(coupon amount) =1000*9%
=90
r(YTM) =11%
n=14 years
Bond price = 90*(1-(1+0.11)-14) /0.11+1000/(1+0.11)14
Bond price =860.36
