Explanation / Answer

Page Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with nine years to maturity, and selling for $966. At this price, the bonds yield 6.80 percent.

What must the coupon rate be on the bonds? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Coupon Value = pv(rate, nper,pmt,fv)

Nper  (indicates the period) = 9

PV (indicates the price) = 966

PMT (indicate the annual payment) = ?

FV (indicates the face value) = 1000

Rate (indicates YTM) = 6.80%

Coupon Value = pmt( 6.80%,9,-966,1000)

Coupon Value = $ 62.83

Coupon rate = 62.83/ 1000

Coupon rate = 6.28%

Answer

  Coupon rate 6.28 %

Ninja Co. issued 10-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 7.0 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If the YTM on these bonds is 5.3 percent, what is the current bond price? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Current bond price = pv(rate, nper,pmt,fv)

Nper  (indicates the semi annual period) = 9*2 = 18

PV (indicates the price) = ?

PMT (indicate the semi annual payment) = 1000*7%*1/2 = 35

FV (indicates the face value) = 1000

Rate (indicates semi annual YTM) = 5.30%*1/2 = 2.65%

Current bond price = pv( 2.65%,18,35,1000)

Current bond price = $ 1120.44
