Question

Grand Adventure Properties offers a 7 percent coupon bond with annual payments. The yield to maturity is 5.85 percent and the maturity date is 8 years from today. What is the market price of this bond if the face value is $1,000?

Answer 1

The market price of this bond is: $1,069.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the market price of the bond, we have to use the following formula:

Bond Price= C*((1-(1+r)^-n)/r)+(F/(1+r)^n)

C= periodic coupon payments: $1,000*7%= $70

F= Face value: $1,000

r= Yield to maturity: 5.85%

n= No. of periods until maturity: 8 years

Bond Price= 70*((1-(1+0.0585)^-8)/0.0585)+(1,000/(1+0.0585)^8)

Bond Price= 70*((1-0.635)/0.0585)+(1,000/1.58)

Bond Price= 70*6.24+633

Bond Price= 436.8+633

Bond Price= 1,069.8
