The WeKnowThisStuff Company issued a $1,000 par value, 6% coupon, 8 year bond. The interest is paid semiannually and the market
is currently requiring 5.5% on this risk level bond. What is the current value of the bond?
1 answer:
Answer:
$1,032.01
Explanation:
Given:
Face value of bond (FV) = $1,000
Coupon rate = 6% annual rate or 6% / 2 = 3% semi-annual rate
Coupon payment (pmt) = 0.03 × $1,000
= $30
Rate = 5.5% annually or 5.5 / 2 = 2.75%
Time period (nper) = 8 × 2 = 16 periods
Current value of bond is present value of bond which can be computed using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)
So, present value of bond is $1,032.01.
PV is negative as it's cash outflow.

Explanation:
Your question was incomplete so I attached the missing details.
The Carrying Amount of the Division has to be ascertained to move forward as it is needed in calculating the loss on Impairment. It is calculated by subtracting Goodwill from the Net Assets.
= 496 - 214
= $282 million
Calculating the Loss on impairment is done by the following formula,
= Market Price - Carrying Amount of the Division (net of Goodwill) - carrying value of Goodwill
= 335 - 282 - 214
= -$161 million.
