Roadside Markets has a 6.75 percent coupon bond outstanding that matures in 30 years. The bond pays interest annually. What is the market price per bond if the face value is $1,000 and the yield to maturity is 7.2 percent? (round your answer to two decimal places)
Use PV function in EXCEL to find the market price of the bond
=PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)
rate=yield to maturity=7.2%
nper=30 years
pmt=coupon=coupon rate*face value=6.75%*1000=67.5
fv=face value=1000
=PV(7.2%,30,67.5,1000,0)=$945.26
price of the bond=$945.26
