Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent. Issue price c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 7 percent. Issue price

Explanation / Answer

Face value=$1,02,500

Coupon rate=6%

Period =7years

A.market rate=6%

r=0.06 and n=7

Present value of principal=$102500*(6%,7)=$102500*0.665=$68162.5

Interest value of principal=$102500*6%=$6150

Present value of interest payment=$102500*0.06*5.582=$34329

Issue price=$34329+$68162.5=$102491.8

B.if market interest rate is 4%

Issue price

Present value of principal=$102500*0.760=$77,900

Present value of interest payment=$102500=$36912

Issue price=$77900+$36912=$114812

If market price rate=7%

Present value of principal=$102500*0.623=$63857

Present value of interest=$102500*0.06*5.389=33142.35

Issue price=$33142.35+$63857=$96999.35
