- As with most bonds, consider a bond with a face value of $1,000. The bond's maturity is 5 years, the coupon rate is 10% paid annually, and the market yield (discount rate) is 14%. What should be the estimated value of this bond in one year? Assume the market yield remains unchanged. Enter your answer in terms of dollars and cents, rounded to 2 decimals, and without the dollar sign. That means, for example, that if your answer is $127.5678, you must enter 127.57 Xarrow_forwardGabby’s Garage issued a bond with a 10-year maturity, a $1,000 par value, a 10 percent coupon rate, and semiannual interest payments.
