Answer:

Price of bond= $1,196

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond would be worked out as follows:

Step 1

Calculate the PV of interest payments

Annual interest payment

= 5.8% × 2,000× = 116

PV of interest payment

A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- 116

r- annual yield 5.8%

n = 30

= 116 × (1-(1.101)^(-30)/0.101

= 1084.465

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = $2000 × (1.101)^(-30)

= 111.53

Step 3

Price of bond

= 111.53 + 1084.465159 = 1195.99

Price of bond= $1,196
