2. Finding the Maturity You've just found a 10 percent coupon bond on the market that sells for par
1 answer:
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the maturity of the bond is as follows;
When the bond sales at par that means the future value is equivalent to the present value. Also the par value is considered as a future value and we assume the par value be $1,000. Also the coupon rate and the market rate is the same i.e. 10%
Now
Present value = $1,000
Future value = $1,000
PMT = 10% of $1,000 = $100
RATE = 10%
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(RATE;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the maturity would be
As it shows #VALUE so it is not able to find therefore the maturity would be equal to the par value i.e. $1,000

Answer:
E. $2,688.77
Explanation:
We need to calculate the PMT of an ordinary annuity at 6%
PV 402,000
time:
85 years - 62 years = 23 years of retirement
23 years x 12 months per year = 276 months
rate: 6% annual rate we must divide over 12 months to convert into monthly: 0.06/12 = 0.005
