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 8 percent paid annuallly. If the yield to maturity is 11 percent, what is the current price of the bond? |

€790.54
Price of the bond = PV of the coupon payments + PV of the par value
Price of the bond = €80({1 – [1 / (1 + 0.11)^14]} / 0.11) + €1,000[1 / (1 + 0.11)^14]
Price of the bond = €790.54
