The Desreumaux Company has two bonds outstanding. Both bonds pay $100 annual interest plus $1,000 at maturity. Bond L matures in 10 years, whereas Bond S matures in one year. One interest payment remains on Bond S. What will be the values of these bonds when the going rate of interest is (a) 4 percent and (b) 6 percent?
(a) Calculation of price of bond @ 4% YTM | ||||||
Bond L | ||||||
Annual coupon = | 100 | |||||
Maturity | 10 | Years | ||||
Annual Interest received = | 100.00 | |||||
Cumulative P.V.F. @ 4 % for 10 periods= | ||||||
(1- ((1/(1.04)^10)))/0.04 | 8.11089578 | |||||
Present value of interest received | $811.09 | |||||
Maturity amount received = | 1000 | |||||
P.V.F. @ 4% for 10th period = | ||||||
(1/(1+0.04)^10) | 0.67556417 | |||||
Present value of Maturity amount | $675.56 | |||||
Price of bond | $1,486.65 | |||||
Bond S | ||||||
Annual coupon = | 100 | |||||
Maturity | 1 | Years | ||||
Annual Interest received = | 100.00 | |||||
Cumulative P.V.F. @ 4 % for 1 periods= | ||||||
(1- ((1/(1.04)^1)))/0.04 | 0.96153846 | |||||
Present value of interest received | $96.15 | |||||
Maturity amount received = | 1000 | |||||
P.V.F. @ 4% for 1st period = | ||||||
(1/(1+0.04)^1) | 0.96153846 | |||||
Present value of Maturity amount | $961.54 | |||||
Price of bond | $1,057.69 | |||||
So, at 4% interest price of bond L is$1,486.65 and Bond S is $1,057.69. | ||||||
(b) Calculation of price of bond @ 6% YTM | ||||||
Bond L | ||||||
Annual coupon = | 100 | |||||
Maturity | 10 | Years | ||||
Annual Interest received = | 100.00 | |||||
Cumulative P.V.F. @ 6 % for 10 periods= | ||||||
(1- ((1/(1.06)^10)))/0.06 | 7.36008705 | |||||
Present value of interest received | $736.01 | |||||
Maturity amount received = | 1000 | |||||
P.V.F. @ 6% for 10th period = | ||||||
(1/(1+0.06)^10) | 0.55839478 | |||||
Present value of Maturity amount | $558.39 | |||||
Price of bond | $1,294.40 | |||||
Bond S | ||||||
Annual coupon = | 100 | |||||
Maturity | 1 | Years | ||||
Annual Interest received = | 100.00 | |||||
Cumulative P.V.F. @ 6 % for 1 periods= | ||||||
(1- ((1/(1.06)^1)))/0.06 | 0.94339623 | |||||
Present value of interest received | $94.34 | |||||
Maturity amount received = | 1000 | |||||
P.V.F. @ 6% for 1st period = | ||||||
(1/(1+0.06)^1) | 0.94339623 | |||||
Present value of Maturity amount | $943.40 | |||||
Price of bond | $1,037.74 | |||||
So, at 6% interest price of bond L is $1,294.40 and Bond S is $1,037.74. | ||||||
