Question

Lincoln Park Co. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.73 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.7 percent and the bond matures in 23 years. What is the market price if the bond has a par value of $2,000?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bond Price​= $1,774.05

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Coupon rate= 0.0573/2= 0.02865

YTM= 0.067/2= 0.0335

The bond matures in 23 years.

Par value= $2,000

To calculate the bond price, we need to use the following formula:

Bond Price​= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

Bond Price​= 57.3*{[(1 - (1.0335^-46)] / 0.0335} + [2,000/1.0335^46]

Bond Price​= 1,334.76 + 439.29

Bond Price​= $1,774.05
