Answer:

a) $1,153.72

b) $93.72

c) $424

Explanation:

Given:

Original bond was issued at 12%

YTM = 10%

Years left, N = 15 years.

a) The current price of bond:

Using Excel function, we have:

=PV(10%/2,2*15,-12%*1000/2,-1000)

= $1153.72

The current price of bond is $1,153.72

b) Dollar profit based on bond's current price will be calculated as:

Bond's current price - purchase price

= $1,153.72 - $1,060

= $93.72

Dollar profit = $93.72

c) The purchase price of $1,060 Ms. Bright paid in cash will be:

$1,060 * 40%

= $424

Answer:

A.) $1,152.12

B.) $92.12

C.) $424.00

Explanation:

Given

period (t) = 15 years

Coupon rate = 12%

Rate (r) = 10%

Par value = $1000

Purchase price = $1060

A.) Current price of bond :

Price = Coupon payment × [(1 - (1 + r)^-t) /r] + [par value / (1+r)^t]

Coupon payment = 12% × 1000 = $120

Plugging our values

Price = 120 × [(1-(1+0.1)^-15)/0.1] + [1000/1.1^15]

Price = $1,152.12

B.) Dollar profit on bond

Dollar profit = Current price - Purchase price

Dollar profit = $1,152.12 - $1060 = $92.12

C.)Amount paid in cash

40% of purchase amount was paid in cash

0.4 × 1060 = $424.00
