Explanation / Answer

ANSWER = CASE A: CALCULATION OF CURRENT MARKET PRICE OF THE BOND OR PURCHASE PRICE Step 1 : Calculation of Annual Coupon Payments Par value of the bond issued is   = $1,06,000 Annual Coupon % 8.00% Annual Coupon Amount $8,480 Step 2: Calculate number of years to Maturity Number of years to maturity = 7 years Step 3 : Yield to Maturity = 8%, So discount rate = 8% PVF = 1 / Discount rate = 1/ 1.08 Result of above will again divide by 1.08 , repeat this till last period Years Interest Amount PVF @ 8% PresentValue 1 Interest $8,480.00                     0.9259 $7,851.85 2 Interest $8,480.00                     0.8573 $7,270.23 3 Interest $8,480.00                     0.7938 $6,731.70 4 Interest $8,480.00                     0.7350 $6,233.05 5 Interest $8,480.00                     0.6806 $5,771.35 6 Interest $8,480.00                     0.6302 $5,343.84 7 Interest $8,480.00                     0.5835 $4,948.00 7 Bond Value $1,06,000.00 0.5835 $61,849.98 Total $1,06,000.00 Market Value of the Bond = $1,06,000.00 ANSWER = CASE B: MARKET INTEREST RATE = 6% CALCULATION OF CURRENT MARKET PRICE OF THE BOND OR PURCHASE PRICE Step 1 : Calculation of Annual Coupon Payments Par value of the bond issued is   = $1,06,000 Annual Coupon % 8.00% Annual Coupon Amount $8,480 Step 2: Calculate number of years to Maturity Number of years to maturity = 7 years Step 3 : Yield to Maturity =6%, So discount rate = 6% PVF = 1 / Discount rate = 1/ 1.06 Result of above will again divide by 1.06 , repeat this till last period Years Interest Amount PVF @ 6% PresentValue 1 Interest $8,480.00                     0.9434 $8,000.00 2 Interest $8,480.00                     0.8900 $7,547.17 3 Interest $8,480.00                     0.8396 $7,119.97 4 Interest $8,480.00                     0.7921 $6,716.95 5 Interest $8,480.00                     0.7473 $6,336.75 6 Interest $8,480.00                     0.7050 $5,978.07 7 Interest $8,480.00                     0.6651 $5,639.68 7 Bond Value $1,06,000.00 0.6651 $70,496.05 Total $1,17,834.65 Market Value of the Bond = $1,17,834.65 ANSWER = C = CASE C: MARKET INTEREST RATE = 9% CALCULATION OF CURRENT MARKET PRICE OF THE BOND OR PURCHASE PRICE Step 1 : Calculation of Annual Coupon Payments Par value of the bond issued is   = $1,06,000 Annual Coupon % 8.00% Annual Coupon Amount $8,480 Step 2: Calculate number of years to Maturity Number of years to maturity = 7 years Step 3 : Yield to Maturity =9%, So discount rate = 9% PVF = 1 / Discount rate = 1/ 1.09 Result of above will again divide by 1.09, repeat this till last period Years Interest Amount PVF @ 9% PresentValue 1 Interest $8,480.00                     0.9174 $7,779.82 2 Interest $8,480.00                     0.8417 $7,137.45 3 Interest $8,480.00                     0.7722 $6,548.12 4 Interest $8,480.00                     0.7084 $6,007.45 5 Interest $8,480.00                     0.6499 $5,511.42 6 Interest $8,480.00                     0.5963 $5,056.35 7 Interest $8,480.00                     0.5470 $4,638.85 7 Bond Value $1,06,000.00 0.5470 $57,985.63 Total $1,00,665.07 Value of the Bond = $1,00,665.07
