2.) Ninja Co. issued 14-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 8.6 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If the YTM on these bonds is 6.9 percent, what is the current bond price?

Explanation / Answer

1) semi annual payment = 7.4%/2*1000 =$37


semi annual r = 5.7%/2 = 2.85% =0.0285 and n=13*2=26


so current bond price = PV(0.0285,26,37,100) =$11154.61


answer: $1154.61


2) semi annual payment = 8.6%/2 =$43


n=13*2=26 and r= 6.9%/2 = 3.45%


current bond price =PV(0.0345,26,43,100)=$115.11


answer: $1144.38
