Question

1.Consider two bonds, Bond A and Bond B, both with a coupon rate of 10 percent and a yield to maturity of 9 percent. These are standard bonds with semi-annual coupon payments. Bond A matures in 5 years while Bond B matures in 10 years. What is the price of each bond?

2. What is the fair value today of a common share with expected annual dividends of $1.29, $1.34, and $1.39 in each of the mext three years and an expected share price of $21.10 in three years, assuming a required return of 9.3 percent?

3. Consider two bonds, Bond C and Bond D, both with a yield to maturity of 7.3 percent and with 5 years to maturity. These are standard bonds with semi-annual coupon payments. Bond C has a coupon rate of 8.4 percent (with semi-annual coupon payments) while Bond D does not pay any coupons (i.e., it is a zero-coupon bond). What is the price of each bond?

4. Consider two bonds, Bond A and Bond B, both with a coupon rate of 11 percent and a yield to maturity of 9.7 percent. These are standard bonds with semi-annual coupon payments. Bond A matures in 5 years while Bond B matures in 10 years. What is the price of each bond?

Explanation / Answer

1. Price Of Bond A :

price (Present value) = face value / (1+ market interest)number of payments + interest [1-(1+ market interest)-number of payment / market interest]

  = 1000 / (1+ 9%/2)5*2 + (1000 * 10%/2) [1-(1+ 9%/2)-5*2 / 9%/2]

    = 1000 / (1+ 0.045)10 + (1000 * 0.05) [1-(1+ 0.045)-10 / 0.045]

    = 1000 / (1.045)10 + 50 * [1-(1.045)-10 / 0.045]

    = 1000 / 1.5530 + 50 * [(1- 1 / 1.5530) / 0.045]

    = 643.92 + 50 * [0.3561 / 0.045]

    = 643.92 + 395.67

    = 1039.59

  Price Of Bond B :

price (Present value) = face value / (1+ market interest)number of payments + interest [1-(1+ market interest)-number of payment / market interest]

    = 1000 / (1+ 9%/2)10*2 + (1000 * 10%/2) [1-(1+ 9%/2)-10*2 / 9%/2]

    = 1000 / (1+ 0.045)20 + 50 [1-(1+ 0.045)-20 / 0.045]

    = 1000 / (1.045)20 + 50 [1-(1.045)-20 / 0.045]

    = 1000 / (1.045)20 + 50 [1- 1/(1.045)20 / 0.045]

    = 1000 / 2.4117 + 50 [1- 1/2.4117 / 0.045]

    = 414.65 + 50 [0.5854 / 0.045]

    = 414.65 + 650.44

    =1065.09

2.   fair value of a common share = D1 / (1+ required return) + D2 / (1+ required return)2 + D3 / (1+ required return)3 + price at 3 year end * (1+ required return)-3

= 1.29 / (1+ 0.093) + 1.34 / (1+ 0.093)2 + 1.39 / (1+ 0.093)3 + $21.10 * (1+0.093)-3

= 1.29 / (1.093) + 1.34 / (1.093)2 + 1.39 / (1.093)3 + $21.10 *(1.093)-3

= 1.29 / (1.093) + 1.34 / (1.093)2 + 1.39 / (1.093)3 + $21.10 *1 /(1.093)3

= 1.29 /1.093 + 1.34 /1.1946 + 1.39 /1.3058 + $21.10 *1 /1.3058

= 1.1802 + 1.1217 + 1.0645 + 16.1587

= $19.53

3.   Price Of Bond C :

price (Present value) = face value / (1+ market interest)number of payments + interest [1-(1+ market interest)-number of payment / market interest]

    = 1000 / (1+ 7.3%/2)5*2 + (1000 * 8.4%/2) [1-(1+ 7.3%/2)-5*2 / 7.3%/2]

    = 1000 / (1+ 0.0365)10 + (1000 *0.042) [1-(1+0.0365)-10 / 0.0365]

    = 1000 / (1.0365)10 + 42 [1-(1.0365)-10 / 0.0365]

    = 1000 / (1.0365)10 + 42 [1- 1/(1.0365)10 / 0.0365]

    = 1000 / 1.4312 + 42 [(1- 1/1.4312)/ 0.0365]

    = 698.71 + 346.68

    = $1045.39

  

       Price Of Bond D :

Price ( zero-coupon bond ) = face value / (1 +yield to maturity )time

= 1000 / (1 + 7.3%/2 )5*2

= 1000 / (1 + 0.0365 )10

= 1000 / (1.0365 )10

= 1000 / 1.4312

= $698.71

4.    Price Of Bond A :

price (Present value) = face value / (1+ market interest)number of payments + interest [1-(1+ market interest)-number of payment / market interest]

    = 1000 / (1+ 9.7%/2)5*2 + (1000 * 11%/2) [1-(1+ 9.7%/2)-5*2 / 9.7%/2]

    = 1000 / (1+ 0.0485)10 + 55 [1-(1+ 0.0485)-10 / 0.0485]

    = 1000 / (1.0485)10 + 55 [1-(1.0485)-10 / 0.0485]

    = 1000 / (1.0485)10 + 55 [1- 1 /(1.0485)10 / 0.0485]

    = 1000 /1.6058 + 55 [(1- 1 /1.6058) / 0.0485]

    = 1000 /1.6058 + 55 [0.3773 / 0.0485]

    = 622.74 + 427.87

    =1050.61

Price Of Bond B :

price (Present value) = face value / (1+ market interest)number of payments + interest [1-(1+ market interest)-number of payment / market interest]

  = 1000 / (1+ 9.7%/2)10*2 + (1000 * 11%/2) [1-(1+ 9.7%/2)-10*2 / 9.7%/2]

= 1000 / (1+ 0.0485)20 + 55 [1-(1+ 0.0485)-20 / 0.0485]

= 1000 / (1.0485)20 + 55 [1-(1.0485)-20 / 0.0485]

= 1000 / (1.0485)20 + 55 [1- 1 /(1.0485)20 / 0.0485]

= 1000 / 2.5785 + 55 (1- 1/2.5785) / 0.0485]

= 387.82 + 55 * [0.6122 / 0.0485]

= 387.82 + 694.25

=1082.07
