Question

If an investor purchases $1,000 face amount of an 8% corporate bond at 93. The bond is scheduled to mature in 2028. What will happen when the issue matures

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount to be paid is $100,440

Explanation:

When the bond matures, it is the due date on which the bond issuer need to pay off the bond on that particular date.

In this case, the bond matures in 2028, so

Interest amount = Face value of bond × Price × Interest

= $1,000 × 93 × 8%

= $7,440

The amount to be paid on maturity will be:

= $7,440 + $93,000

= $100,440
