Expert Solution

Face value of bond = $ 1000

Annual coupouns = $ 50

Answer to Part (a)

maturity period = 6 years

required rate of return =5%

value of bond = ?

value of bonds/current price of the bond = 50*PVIFA(5%,6years) + 1000*PVIF(5%,6year)

= 50*5.075692 + 1000*0.746215

= 253.7846 + 746.215

= 999.9996 or $ 1000

Answer to Part (b)

Maturity period = 7 years

rest all same as per part (a)

Value of bond = 50*PVIFA(5%,7years) + 1000*PVIF(5%,7year)

= 50*5.786373 + 1000*0.710681

= 289.3187 + 710.681

= $ 1000

No effect on answer. due to its coupon rate (50/1000 =5%) = required rate/market rate its value comes equal to its par value at any point of time.

Answer to Part (c)

Required rate of return = 6%

rest all are same as per part (a)

value of bond = 50*PVIFA(6%,6years) + 1000*PVIF(6%,6year)

= 50*4.917324 + 1000*0.704961

= 245.8662 + 704.961

= $ 950.83

it decreases the value of bond. the required rate is 6% which is above its coupon rate (5%) due to which the value of bond decreases.

Answer to Part (d)

Required rate of return = 4%

rest all are same as per part (a)

value of bond = 50*PVIFA(4%,6years) + 1000*PVIF(4%,6year)

= 50*5.242137 + 1000*0.790315

= 262.1068 + 790.315

= $ 1052.421

it increases the value of bond. the required rate is 4% which is below its coupon rate (5%) due to which the value of bond increases.
