Question

Grohl Co. issued 22 year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 5 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If the YTM on these bonds is 11 percent, what is the current bond price?

Answer 1

Answer:

the current bond price is $518.62

Explanation:

The computation of the current bond price is given below:

Given that

NPER = (22 - 2) × 2 = 40

Assuming future value be $1000

PMT = $1,000 ×5% ÷2 = $25

RATE = 11% ÷ 2 = 5.5%

The formula is given below:

=-PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the current bond price is $518.62
