1. A semi-annual coupon bond with 25 years until maturity has a coupon rate of 7.2 percent and a yield to maturity of 6 percent. If the par value is $1000, what is the price of the bond?
Semiannual interest = $1,000 * 0.072 * 6/12 = $36
The price of the bond is:
Current bond price = $36(PVIFA 3%,50) + $1,000(PVIF 3%,50)
Current bond price = ($36 * 25.7297640011) + ($1,000 * 0.22810707966)
Current bond price = $1,154.38
