Question

Explain what you see from the pricing calculations. How do the two bonds differ? 

 

Bond C

Bond Price = PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

Given: n = Period which takes values from 0 to the nth period = 0,1,2,3 & 4

         Cn = Coupon payment in the nth period = 10%*$1,000 = $100

     YTM = interest rate or required yield = 9.6%

             P = Par Value of the bond = $1,000

 

Bond Z

Bond Price = PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

Given: n = Period which takes values from 0 to the nth period = 0,1,2,3 & 4

         Cn = Coupon payment in the nth period = 0%*$1,000 = $0.00

     YTM = interest rate or required yield = 9.6%

             P = Par Value of the bond = $1,000
