7 years ago Sunland Corporation issued 20-year bonds that had a $1,000 face value, paid interest annually, and had a coupon rate of 7 percent. If the market rate of interest is 5.5 percent today, what is the current market price of an Sunland Corporation bond?
Current market price _____
Number of remaining periods = 20 - 7 = 13
Annual coupon = 7% of 1000 = 70
Current market price = Coupon * [1 - 1 / (1 + rate)^time] / rate + Face value / (1 + rate)^time
Current market price = 70 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.055)^13] / 0.055 + 1000 / (1 + 0.055)^13
Current market price = 70 * [1 - 0.49856] / 0.055 + 498.56068
Current market price = 70 * 9.11708 + 498.56068
Current market price = $1,136.76
