BMW Corporation has a bond issue outstanding with an annual
coupon rate of 8.2 percent paid quarterly and four years remaining
until maturity. The par value of the bond is $1,000. Determine the
fair present value of the bond if market conditions justify a 12.5
percent, compounded quarterly, required rate of return. (Do
not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal
places. (e.g., 32.16))
Fair present value: ??
End of quarter |
Cash Flow (8.2/4=2.05% of par value per quarter plus the par value at maturity) |
PV of Cash Flow (12.5/4=3.125% discounting) |
1 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)1=19.88 |
2 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)2=19.28 |
3 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)3=18.69 |
4 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)4=18.13 |
5 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)5=17.58 |
6 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)6=17.04 |
7 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)7=16.53 |
8 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)8=16.03 |
9 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)9=15.54 |
10 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)10=15.07 |
11 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)11=14.61 |
12 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)12=14.17 |
13 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)13=13.74 |
14 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)14=13.32 |
15 | 20.5 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)15=12.92 |
16 | 20.5 + 1000 | 20.5/(1+3.125/100)16+1000/(1+3.125/100)16=12.53+611.19=623.72 |
Therefore the fair present value of the bond is the sum of present values of all the cash flows
=$ (19.88+19.28+18.69+18.13+17.58+17.04+16.53+16.03+15.54+15.07+14.61+14.17+13.74+13.32+12.92+623.72)
=$ 866.25
Hence the fair price considering a 12.5% required rate of return, compounded quarterly
