n=
i=
Interest = Amount?
Interest = Present Value?
Principal = Amount?
Principal = Present Value?
Price of Bonds?

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 40

i = 3% (semiannual)

face value = $80 million

coupon payment = $2,000,000

market price:

PV of face value = $80 / (1 + 3%)⁴⁰ = $24.52 million

PC of coupon payments = $2 x 23.115 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 40 periods) = $46.23 million

market value = $70.75 million
