Suppose the bond is paying annual coupon
Price of the bond could be calculated using below formula.
P = C* [{1 - (1 + YTM) ^ -n}/ (YTM)] + [F/ (1 + YTM) ^ -n]
Where,
Face value = $1000
Coupon rate = 0.0725
YTM or Required rate = 0.08
Time to maturity (n) = 30 years
Annual coupon C = $72.5
Let's put all the values in the formula to find the bond current value
P = 72.5* [{1 - (1 + 0.08) ^ -30}/ (0.08)] + [1000/ (1 + 0.08) ^30]
P = 72.5* [{1 - (1.08) ^ -30}/ (0.08)] + [1000/ (1.08) ^30]
P = 72.5* [{1 - 0.09938}/ 0.08] + [1000/ 10.06266]
P = 72.5* [0.90062/ 0.08] + [99.3773]
P = 72.5* 11.25775 + 99.3773
P = 816.186875 + 99.3773
P = 915.564175
So price of the bond is $915.56
