What is the price of a 6?-year, 8.3% coupon? rate, $1,000 face value bond that pays interest annually if the yield to maturity on similar bonds is 7.1%?? The price of the bond is ?$ nothing.
? (Round to the nearest? cent.)
Annual coupon=1000*8.3%
=83
Hence price of bond=Annual coupon*Present value of annuity factor(7.1%,6)+1000*Present value of discounting factor(7.1%,6)
=83*4.75186032+1000*0.662617917
=$1057.02(Approx)
NOTE:
1.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
=83*[1-(1.071)^-6]/0.071
=83*4.75186032
2.Present value of discounting factor=1000/1.071^6
=1000*0.662617917
