Answer:
R = 7% x $1,000 = $70
Po= R/2(1-(1+Kd/m)-nm/Kd/m + FV/(1+Kd/m)nm
Po = 70/2(1-(1+0.0682/2)-13.5x2/0.0682/2 + 1,000/(1+0.0682/2)13.5x2
Po = 35(1-(1+0.0341)-27/0.0341 + 1000/(1+0.0341)27
Po = 35(17.4663) + 1,000/2.4728
Po = $611.3205 + $404.40
Po = $1,015.72
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
The current price of a bond is equal to present value of coupon plus the present value of face value of the bond. The bond pays semi-annual interest, thus, we will divide the coupon by 2 and then determine the present value. The bond yield will also be divided by 2.
Po = Current price of the bond, R = Coupon, Kd = Bond yield, FV = Face value, n = Bond maturity and m = No of times coupon is paid in a year
