Acme Co. issues a $1,000 face value bond that pays an annual coupon rate of 6.5 percent and matures in four years. Assuming a ma
rket interest rate of 6.0 percent at the time of issuance, the bond's price is closest to
1 answer:
Answer:
$1,017.33
Explanation:
For computing the bond price we have to use the PV function that is shown in the attached spreadsheet which is presented below:
Given that,
Future value or face value = $1,000
Market Rate of interest = 6%
NPER = 4 years
PMT = $1,000 × 6.5% = $65
The formula is shown below:
= PV(Rate,NPER,PMT,FV,type)
So, after solving this, the answer would be $1,017.33

Answer:
4.20%
Explanation:
In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,
Present value = $1,150
Future value = $1,067.50
Assuming Par value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 6.35% = $63.50
NPER = 5 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the rate of return is 4.20%
