Explanation / Answer

1) Present Value of Bond would be the current market price of Bond

Summation of Discounting factor for year 1-15 @ 10% = 7.61

Discounting factor at Year 15 @10% = 0.239

Current Value of Bond = 7.61 * 120 + 0.239*1000 = 913.2 + 239 = 1152.2

2)

Present Value of Bond would be the current market price of Bond

Summation of Discounting factor for year 1-15 @ 12% = 6.81

Discounting factor at Year 15 @12% = 0.182

Current Value of Bond = 6.81 * 120 + 0.182*1000 = 913.2 + 239 = 999.2 or 1000

3)

Present Value of Bond would be the current market price of Bond

Summation of Discounting factor for year 1-15 @ 14% = 6.002

Discounting factor at Year 15 @14% = 0.159

Current Value of Bond = 6.002 * 120 + 0.159*1000 = 720 + 159 = 879
