Explanation / Answer

Price at end of 11 years = Dividend in 12th year / Required return

= 5.20 / 3.9% = 133.33

Price today = 133.33 / (1+3.9%)^11 = 87.53

Coupon = 3.71% /2 * 5000 = 92.75

N = 48 and I = 4.23%/2 = 2.115%

Price of bond = 87.53 * PVIFA (n,i) + FV * PVIF (n,i)

= 87.53 * PVIFA (48 , 2.115%) + 5000 * PVIF (48 , 2.115%)

= 87.53 * 29.9676 + 5000 * 0.3662 = 4454.06
