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 |
