Question

A company's bond has a coupon rate of 4.00% and has 16 years remaining until maturity. The company's bonds pay interest semi-annually. Due to a cash flow problem, the company will be unable to pay the interest payments for periods 8, 9, and 10. These missed payments will be repaid in one lump sum when the bond matures, without interest. If the Yield to Maturity (YTM) on similar bonds is 11%, what is the intrinsic value of this bond?

Answer 1

I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate the bond's value (see attached image). the bond's intrinsic value using a 11% discount rate is $452.08
