Business Finance Chapter 7 HW & Assignment
1. Today, a bond has a coupon rate of 10.8%, par value of $1000, 13 years to maturity, YTM
of 9.6%, and semiannual coupons with the next one due in 6 months. One year ago, the
price of the bond was $1075. What is the current yield of the bond today?
Coupon Pmt = 108/2 = 54 semi annual
Bond Value Today
N = 13 x 2 = 26
I = 9.6/2
FV = 1000
PMT = 54
PV = 1088.06
Current Yield Today = Annual Coupon/Bond Value Today
= 108/1088.06 = 0.0993 = 9.93
2. 6 years ago, Allen Corp issued bonds that pay annual coupons, have a face value of
$1000, have an annual coupon rate of 8.6, and are schedule to mature in 4 years. One
year ago, you bought one of the bonds for $998. The bond just paid a coupon. If the
percentage return on your bond was 4.6% over the past year, what is the price of the bond
today?
Percentage Return = (Coupon Payment + Capital Gain)/Initial Value
0.046 = (86 + CG)/998
CG = 0.046*998 - 86
CG = 45.91 - 86
CG = -40.09
Price Today = 998 + (-40.09) = 957.91 = 958
