What is your yield to matunity on the Fingen bonds given the market price of the bonds? DJs (Round to two decimal places)

Explanation / Answer

Requirement (a) – Bond’s Yield To Maturity [YTM] = 7.27%

YTM = Coupon Amount + [ (Par Value – Bond Price) / Maturity Years ] / [(Par Value + Bond Price)/2]

= $80 + [ ($1,000 - $1,070) / 17 ) ] / [($1,000 + $1,070) / 2]

= [$80 – 4.12 / $1,035] x 100

= 7.27%

Requirement (b) – Value of the Bond = $914.56

Value of the Bond = Present Value of Coupon Interest + Present Value of Par Value

= { $80 x [ PVIFA 9% , 17 Years ] } + { $1,000 x [ PVIF 9%, 17 Years ] }

= [ $80 x 8.543631] + [ $1,000 x 0.231073]

= $ 683.49 + 231.07

= $914.56

Requirement (c) We should not purchase the Bond, We Should sell the Bond. If at anytime, the Present Value of the Bond is less than it’s Par Value, We should sell it off. Here the present Value of the Bond ($914.56) is less than it’s Par Value of $1,000
