Question

A corporate coupon bond of 6.9 percent is callable in five years for a call premium of one year of coupon payments. Assuming a par value of $1,000, what is the price paid to the bondholder if the issuer calls the bond?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,069

Explanation:

Data provided in the given question

Future value = $1,000

Coupon bond = 6.9%

Time period = 5 years

The computation of price paid is shown below:-

Amount Paid = Principal Amount + Call premium

= $1,000 + 6.9% × $1,000

= $1,069

Therefore, for calculating the amount paid we simply add principal amount add call premium.
