Explanation / Answer

1. Formula for calculating bond price is = C x Fx [1- (1+r)-t]/r + [F/(1+r)t]

Where, C = Coupon rate of the bond = 7%/2 = 3.5% or 0.035 (Semi-annual rate)

r = Interest rate at the market = 6%/2 = 3% or 0.030 (Semi-annual rate)

F = Face value of the bond = $ 190,000

t = time period for over the term of the bond = Ten years semi-annually = 10*2 = 20

So, Bond price = 0.035 x 190,000 x [1- (1+ 0.03)-20]/0.030 + [190,000/(1+0.030)20]

= 6,650 x [1- (1/1.806)]/0.030 + (190,000/1.806)

= 6650 x 14.88 + 105198.39

= 98935.21 + 105198.39

= $ 204,133.6

Yes, the statement is true. The difference in amount came here is because of the approximation decimal numbers after point.
