Chapter 6, Problem 19QP

a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The price of 4-year bond if the bond has a yield to maturity of 9%.

Yield to maturity (YTM) is the overall return anticipated on a bond throughout its maturity period and it is considered as a long-term bond yield and represented as an annual rate.

a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Computation of price of the bond is as follows:

Price = coupon amount×1(1+YTM)nYTM+Face value(1+YTM)n = $80×1(1+0.09)40.09+$1,000(1+0.09)4=$967.60

Therefore, the price of the bond is $967.60.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The price of 8-year bond if the bond has a yield to maturity of 9%.

b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Computation of price of the bond is as follows:

Price = coupon amount×1(1+YTM)nYTM+Face value(1+YTM)n = $80×1(1+0.09)80.09+$1,000(1+0.09)8=$944.65

Therefore, the price of the bond is $944.65.

c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The price of 30-year bond if the bond has a yield to maturity of 9%.

c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Computation of price of the bond is as follows:

Price = coupon amount×1(1+YTM)nYTM+Face value(1+YTM)n = $80×1(1+0.09)300.09+$1,000(1+0.09)30=$897.26

Therefore, the price of the bond is $897.26.

d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The price of 4-year bond if the bond has a yield to maturity of 7%.

d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Computation of price of the bond is as follows:

Price = coupon amount×1(1+YTM)nYTM+Face value(1+YTM)n = $80×1(1+0.07)40.07+$1,000(1+0.07)4=$1,033.87

Therefore, the price of the bond is $1,033.87.

e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The price of 8-year bond if the bond has a yield to maturity of 7%.

e)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Computation of price of the bond is as follows:

Price = coupon amount×1(1+YTM)nYTM+Face value(1+YTM)n = $80×1(1+0.07)80.07+$1,000(1+0.07)8=$1,059.71

Therefore, the price of the bond is $1,059.71.

f)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The price of 30-year bond if the bond has a yield to maturity of 7%.

f)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Computation of price of the bond is as follows:

Price = coupon amount×1(1+YTM)nYTM+Face value(1+YTM)n = $80×1(1+0.07)300.07+$1,000(1+0.07)30=$1,124.09

Therefore, the price of the bond is $1,124.09.
