A 3-year bond carrying 3.4% annual coupon and $100-par is putable at par 1 year and 2 years from today. Calculate the value of the putable bond under the forward rate curve below.
1-year spot rate: 2.1%;
1-year spot rate 1 year from now: 2.5%;
1-year spot rate 2 years from now: 3.8%.
Assume annual compounding. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (nearest cent).
Coupon Rate: 3.4% Par value of bond : $100 1-year spot rate: 2.1% 1-year spot rate 1 year from now: 2.5% 1-year spot rate 2 years from now: 3.8% |
1-year spot rate: 2.1% PV0 = 0.034× $100 + $100/ 1+0.021 = 101.27 |
1-year spot rate 1 year from now: 2.5% PV1 = 0.034× $100 + $100/ 1+0.025 = 98.80 |
1-year spot rate 2 years from now: 3.8% PV2 = 0.034× $100 + $100/ 1+0.038 = 99.62 |
