Consider the following bond issued by Halliburton: coupon rate: 2.067%, with semi-annual coupon payments Face value: $1,000 Maturity date: August 1, 2023 Assume that today is August 2, 2016. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that the annual discount rate is 7.636%, with semi-annual compounding. What is the value of the bond? Do not round at intermediate steps in your calculation. Round your answer to the nearest penny. Do NOT include a minus sign! Do not type the $ symbol.
Price of a bond is present value of cash flows associated with the bond - namely coupons and maturity value, discounted at market interest rate.
Price of a bond is mathematically represented as:
where P is price of bond with periodic coupon C, periodic YTM i, n periods to maturity and M face value.
C = 2.067% * $1000/2 = $10.335 --> Semi-annual
M = $1000
i = 3.818%
n = 7 * 2 = 14 semi-annual periods
P = 110.49 + 591.81
P = 702.30
