Question:

Suppose there is a bond in ABC Company that that pays coupons of 8.5%, and suppose that these coupons are paid annually.

Suppose the face value of the ABC bond is $1000 and the maturity is 11 years.

If the appropriate discount rate for this bond is 6%, what would you be willing to pay for ABC’s bond?

Answer:

Price of bond = $ 1197.17

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV)</em>.

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The price of the bond can be worked out as follows:

S<em>tep 1 </em>

<em>PV of interest payments </em>

Annual Interest payment = 8.5%× 1000 = 85

Annual yield = 6%

Total period to maturity (in years) = 11

PV of interest =

85 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-11)/)/0.06 = 670.38

<em />

<em>Step 2 </em>

<em>PV of Redemption Value </em>

= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-11) = 526.78

<em>Step 3:</em>

<em>Price of bond </em>

670.38 + 526.78= 1,197.17

Price of bond = $ 1197.17

The Rule of 70 applies in any growth rate application. Let’s say you have $1000 in savings and you have three alternatives for i

AlekseyPX

Answer:

a. 7,000 years

b. 2,333 years

c. 875 years

Explanation:

Based on rule of 70, we can have the following formula to do the calculation:

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ Interest rate per year .................... (1)

We can now calculate as follows:

a. A savings account earning 1% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 1% = 7,000 years

b. A U.S. Treasury bond mutual fund earning 3% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 3% = 2,333 years

c. A stock market mutual fund earning 8% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 8% = 875 years

Note:

It can be observed that the higher the interest rate, the lower the number of years it will take the investment to double.
