Answer: The investor should be willing to pay <u>$927.68 </u>for the bond today.
We in need to compute the price at which the investor can sell the bond in year 10 (Y10).
The price of the bond in year 10 will be the present value of the coupons over the remaining life of the bond and the maturity value of the bond after 20 years.
We have
Coupon Value (C ) $50.00
No. of coupons remaining (n) 20
Expected YTM in year 10 0.08
Expected semi annual YTM in year 10
Face (Maturity) Value of the bond (MV) $1,000.00
The bond price in year 10 will be
Substituting the values we get,
<u>Hence the investor can expect to sell the bond in year 10 at $1,135.90.</u>
Now, we'll calculate the price the investor is willing to pay for the bond. The investor can expected to pay the Present Value of the coupons she'll receive over 10 years and the selling price of the bond 10 years from now. We discount the cash flows at the rate of return the investor expects.
We have
Coupon Value (C ) $50.00
No. of coupons remaining (n) 20
Expected rate of return 0.12
Expected semi annual rate of return
Selling Price of the bond (SP) $1,135.90
Substituting the values we get,
