Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate
your final answer using the formula and financial calculator
methods.
Compute the current price of the bonds if the percent yield to
maturity is: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round

 Case 1  | 
| 
 Calculation of Present Value of Interest Payments  | 
| 
 Interest Amount = 1000*12% = 120  | 
| 
 Present Value = 120*PVIFA (n = 50, i = 6%)  | 
| 
 Present Value = 120*15.7619  | 
| 
 Present Value of interest Payments = 1891.428  | 
| 
 Calculation of Present Value of Principal Payment  | 
| 
 Principal Amount = 1000  | 
| 
 Present Value = 1000*PVFA (n = 50, i = 6%)  | 
| 
 Present Value = 1000*0.05429  | 
| 
 Present Value of Principal Payment = 54.29  | 
| 
 Current Price of the Bond = Present Value of Interest Payment + Present Value of Principal Payments  | 
| 
 Current Price of the Bond = 1891.428 + 54.29  | 
| 
 Current Price of the Bond = 1945.72  | 
| 
 Case 2  | 
| 
 Calculation of Present Value of Interest Payments  | 
| 
 Interest Amount = 1000*12% = 120  | 
| 
 Present Value = 120*PVIFA (n = 50, i = 10%)  | 
| 
 Present Value = 120*9.9148  | 
| 
 Present Value of interest Payments = 1189.776  | 
| 
 Calculation of Present Value of Principal Payment  | 
| 
 Principal Amount = 1000  | 
| 
 Present Value = 1000*PVFA (n = 50, i = 10%)  | 
| 
 Present Value = 1000*0.00852  | 
| 
 Present Value of Principal Payment = 8.52  | 
| 
 Current Price of the Bond = Present Value of Interest Payment + Present Value of Principal Payments  | 
| 
 Current Price of the Bond = 1189.776+8.52  | 
| 
 Current Price of the Bond = 1198.30  |
