Consider an issued bond in which you are interested to invest. The coupon payment is $80 annually and eight years to maturity. The company which issued the bond is about to go bankrupt. And because of that, the bondholders of the company agree to postpone the next four interest payments. The rest of the coupons (year 5 to 8) will be paid on schedule. Those coupons which are postponed will accrue an interest rate of 6% and all together will be paid in a lump sum at maturity of the bond. If the yield to maturity of the bond is 28%, what is the bond price today?
