Explanation / Answer

Price of bond = $89 million

Explanation;

Price of bond = Present value of principal + Present value of interest payments

So let’s calculate present value of principal and present value of interest payments one by one;

Present value of principal will be calculated as follow;

Principal amount = $102 million

Present value factor for a single payment (7%, 30 periods) = 0.1314

Thus, Present value of principal will be ($102 million * 0.1314) = 13.4028 million

Now’ let’s calculate Present value of interest payments;

Interest payment for per period ($102 million * 6 / 100) = 6.12 million

Present value factor for an ordinary annuity (7%, 30 periods) = 12.4090

Thus, Present value of interest payments will be (6.12 million * 12.4090) = $75.94308

Price of bond (13.4028 million + $75.94308) = $89.35 million (Approx.) or $89 million
