Goody's bonds pay a 8 percent annual coupon rate. The bonds mature in 13 years. The bond pays interest semiannually. What is the price per bond if the face value is $1,000 and the yield to maturity is 10 percent? (Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not enter dollar signs.)
Calculation of Price of Bond (B0):
We know that,
[Where,
B0 = Price of Bond Today
I = Interest
R = Disount rate OR Yield to maturity
n = Number Of Periods
MV= Maturity Value i.e Face Value of Bond**]\
**Since no addtional Information is given on maturity Value, We will ALWAYS assume that Bond Matures at PAR.
Now,
IN CASE OF SEMI-ANNUAL COMPOUNDING : Following THREE things are required:
Therefore,
(by using calculator)
PVAF (0.05, 26 periods) = Present Value Annuity Factor (0.05, 26 periods) = 14.37519
PVF (0.05, 26th period) = Present Value Factor (0.05, 26th period) = 0.28124
Therfore, Price of Bond = 856.25
