Nesmith Corporation's outstanding bonds have a $1,000 par value, an 8% semiannual coupon, 15 years to maturity, and a 12% YTM. What is the bond's price? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
| K = Nx2 |
| Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2 |
| k=1 |
| K =15x2 |
| Bond Price =∑ [(8*1000/200)/(1 + 12/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + 12/200)^15x2 |
| k=1 |
| Bond Price = 724.7 |
| Using Calculator: press buttons "2ND"+"FV" then assign |
| PMT = Par value * coupon %/coupons per year=1000*8/(2*100) |
| I/Y =12/2 |
| N =15*2 |
| FV =1000 |
| CPT PV |
| Using Excel |
| =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV,type) |
| =PV(12/(2*100),2*15,-8*1000/(2*100),-1000,) |
