Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 14 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 7 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 11 percent, what is the current price of the bond?
Solution :
The current price of the bond = $ 720.73
= $ 721 ( when rounded off to the nearest whole number )
Please find the attached screenshot of the excel sheet containing the detailed calculation for the solution.
