Answer 1

Answer:

$10,856

Explanation:

Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. These cash flows include the coupon payment and the maturity payment of the bond.

According to given data

Face value of the bond is $10,000

Coupon payment = C = $10,000 x 4.8% = $480 annually = $240 semiannually

Number of periods = n = 22 years x 2 = 44 period

YTM =  4.2% annually = 2.1% semiannually

Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond = $240 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 2.1% )^-44 ) / 2.1% ] + [ $10,000 / ( 1 + 2.1% )^44 ]

Price of the Bond = $6,848.64 + $4007.4 = $10,856.04
