The correct answer should be 30 because you don't want too much pressure .
Answer:
$1,115.58
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much should you be willing to pay for this bond
Using this formula
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Where,
Par value= $1,000
Cupon= $35
Time= 10*4= 40 quarters
Rate= 0.12/4= 0.03
Let plug in the formula
Bond Price= 35*{[1 - (1.03^-40)] / 0.03} + [1,000/(1.03^40)]
Bond Price= 809.02 + 306.56
Bond Price= $1,115.58
Therefore how much should you be willing to pay for this bond is $1,115.58
Answer:
Holding period yield is 114.97%
effective yield is 8.72%
Explanation:
holding period yield=(Price at call-initial price+coupon payments)/initial price
=($970-$935)+(13*$80)/$935
=($35+$1040
)/$935
=$1075/$935
=114.97%
The effective yield is the yield to call which can be computed using the excel rate formula:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of payments before the call which is 13
pmt is the periodic payment by bond which is $1000*8%=$80
pv is the current market price of $935
fv is the bond price at end of 13 years at $970
=rate(13,80,-935,970)
rate=8.72%
