Two years ago, Global Airlines sold a $250 million bond issue to finance the purchase of new jet airliners. These bonds were issued in at par value with an original maturity of 12 years and a coupon rate of 12%. Determine the value today of one of these bonds to an investor who requires a 14% rate of return on these securities. Is it a discount or premium bond and why

Answer:

$897

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the value today

Using Financial calculator to determine the Present value (PV)

N = (12- 2) = 10 years

I = 14%

PMT =12%*1,000=120

FV = $1000

PV=?

Hence;

PV = $896.68

PV=$897 (Approximately)

Therefore the value today is $897
