Question
What is the current value of a 30-year bond making semi-annual coupon
payments that has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%, if the
YTM is 4%, how much does the bond currently sell for? Does the bond sell
at a discount, premium, or at face value?
Reference the below formulas when solving the problem above:
PV = FV / (1+r)^t
FV = PV(1+r)^t
FVA = PMT(((1+r)^t) -1) / r
FVA = PMT((1+(r/12)^t(12))-1)/(r/12)
PVA = PMT(((1-(1+r)^-t) / r))
PVA = PMT((1-(1+(r/12))^-t(12)))/(r/12)
Bo = PMT ((1-(1+r/2)^-t(2))) / r/2 + FV / (1+r/2)^t(2)
