An insurance company purchases corporate bonds in the secondary market with six years to maturity. Total par value is $55000000. The coupon rate is 11%, with annual interest payments. If the required rate of return is 1.7 percent, what will the market value of the bonds be then? State the answer as a number with 2 decimals without $ sign.
Price of the bond = Present value of coupons and face value discounted at ytm.
Face Value = 55000000
Coupon Amount = 11% * 55000000 = 6050000
Number of payments = 6
Ytm = 1.7%
Price = 6050000/(1+0.017)^1 + 6050000/(1+0.017)^2 + 6050000/(1+0.017)^3+ 6050000/(1+0.017)^4 + 6050000/(1+0.017)^5 +6050000/(1+0.017)^6 + 55000000/(1+0.017)^6
Price = 83943664.18 Answer
