Find the value of a bond maturing in 7 years, with a $1 comma 000 par value and a coupon interest rate of 9 % (4.5 % paid semiannually) if the required return on similar-risk bonds is 16 % annual interest left parenthesis 8 % paid semiannually).
The present value of the bond is:
| Given : | |
| Face Value of Bond = | $ 1,000.00 | 
| Coupon rate semi annual | 4.50% | 
| Semi annual Coupon Payment | $ 45.00 | 
| Semi Annual Market yield | 8% | 
| No of semi annual periods till maturity = | 14 | 
| PV Annuity factor for 14 periods @8%=(1-1.08^-14)/8%= | 8.24424 | |
| PV discount factor for 14 periods @8% =1/1.08^14= | 0.34046 | |
| We can find the PV of Bond by finding the PV of future cash flows from the bond. | 
| Cash flow | Amt $ | PVA /PV factor | PV of Cash flows=a*b | 
| Semi annual coupon payments for 14 periods | $ 45.000 | 8.244237 | 370.99 | 
| Maturity value receivable after 14 semi annual periods | $ 1,000.00 | 0.3404610 | 340.46 |
