Hey there !!
In this question we have to calculate the following using excel functions :
1. Annual Coupon Payment
2. Current Bond Value
3. Discount/ Premium
Look at the table, In the table, i have completed the missing values and you can see how a particular figure is appearing by looking at the column heading.
I have explained each and every column. Refer the content in brackets in the columns.
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K |
Bond |
Coupon Rate | Yield to Maturity/ Discount Rate |
Periods to Maturity | Par Value of Bond | Semi Annual Coupon Rate = Column B/2 ie Coupon Rate/2 |
nper = Period to maturity x 2 (Column D x 2) |
Annual Coupon Payment = B X E |
Semi Annual coupon Payment = F x E |
Current Bond Value Using PV Formula |
Discount or Premium =E-J |
A | 3% | 5% | 10 | 1000 | 1.50% | 20 | 30 | 15 | ? 844 | ? -156 |
B | 5% | 4% | 10 | 1000 | 2.25% | 20 | 45 | 22.5 | ? 1,041 | ? 41 |
C | 4% | 6% | 10 | 1000 | 1.75% | 20 | 35 | 17.5 | ? 814 | ? -186 |
D | 5% | 5% | 10 | 1000 | 2.50% | 20 | 50 | 25 | ? 1,000 | ? 0 |
E | 11% | 10% | 10 | 1000 | 5.50% | 20 | 110 | 55 | ? 1,062 | ? 62 |
To calculate current bond value using excel, we have used PV Formula.
Let me explain you how to use PV function in excel...
Type this in excel = - pv (rate, nper, pmt, [fv],[type])
Now, Rate to be used is= Discount Rate / 2 (since semi annual payments)
nper = Periods to maturity * 2 (since semi annual payment)
pmt = Semi annual coupon payment
[FV] = face value of bond
Put the above figures in the table as per the given formula and then you will get the current price of the bond.
Do let me know if you have any other concerns....happy to help....
All the best !!! :)
