Department of Treasury auctioned a 20-year bond in August. Its coupon rate was 1.125% and similar bonds yield at 1.213%. What should the price be?
Answer : Calculation of price of Bond :
Price = [Coupon * [email protected]% for 20 years] + [Face Value * [email protected]% for 20th year]
= [11.25 * 17.6643623666] + [1000 * 0.78573128438]
= 198.724076624 + 785.73128438
= 984.4554 or 984.46
