For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield is 14%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. What is the price of the bonds at January 1, 2021

Answer 1

a. $326,421.

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing word "Some relevant and irrelevant present value factors:

* PV of annuity due of $1: n = 20; i = 7% is 11.33559

* PV of ordinary annuity of $1: n = 20; i = 7% is 10.59401

**PV of $1: n = 20; i = 7% is 0.25842

Multiple Choice $326,421. $361,100. $572,732. $292,814."

Semi annual cash interest = 23250 (310,000*15%*6/12)

n = 20

I =7%

Cashflows Amount PVF Present value

Semi annual cash interest 23250 10.59401 246,310.70

Maturity value 310,000 0.25842 80,110.20

Price of bonds $326,420.90
