You own a 10-year bond paying an annual coupon rate of 5%. The yield to maturity on the bond is 7%. The face value, as usual, is $1000. What is the value of the bond today?

Expert Solution

Value of the Bond today

· The Price of the Bond is the Present Value of the Coupon Payments plus the Present Value of the Face Value/Par Value.

· The Price of the Bond is normally calculated either by using EXCEL Functions or by using Financial Calculator.

· Here, the calculation of the Bond Price using financial calculator is as follows


Variables	Financial Calculator Keys	Figure

Par Value/Face Value of the Bond [$1,000]	FV	1,000
Coupon Amount [$1,000 x 5.00%]	PMT	50
Market Interest Rate or Yield to maturity on the Bond [7.00%]	1/Y	7
Maturity period/Time to Maturity [10 Years]	N	10
Bond Price/Current Market Price of the Bond	PV	?

Here, we need to set the above key variables into the financial calculator to find out the Price of the Bond. After entering the above keys in the financial calculator, we get the Price of the Bond (PV) = $859.53.

Hence, the Value of the Bond will be $859.53
