Christopher Cauble TESU-FIN3010 Dr. Frank DeCaro Written Assignment 06 1. A $1,000 bond has a coupon of 6 percent and matures after ten years. a. What would be the bond’s price if comparable debt yields 8 percent? P b = Coupon*PVAIF X Principle*PVIF Coupon 60 (Coupon*PVAIF)= 402.6 PVAIF 6.71 (Principle*PVIF)= 463 Principle 1000 Pb= $865.60 PVIF 0.463 Price Value $865.60 b. What would be the price if comparable debt yields 8 percent and the bond matures after five years? P b = Coupon*PVAIF X Principle*PVIF Coupon 60 (Coupon*PVAIF)= 239.58 PVAIF 3.993 (Principle*PVIF)= 681 Principle 1000 Pb= $920.58 PVIF 0.681 Price Value $920.58 c. Why are the prices different in a and b? Because of the 10 year yield, the payments are smaller and collected over a longer period of time. Additionally, this exposes the bond to interest rate risk for a longer period of time than the 5 year bond. It is worth noting that interest rates inversely affect bonds. d. What are the current yields and the yields to maturity in a and b? 5 year bond Y2M PV -920.58 FV 1000 PMT 60 N 5 I 8% 8% 10 year bond Y2M PV -$865.60 FV 1000 PMT 60 N 10 I 8% 8%
Christopher Cauble TESU-FIN3010 Dr. Frank DeCaro Current Yields: Current Yield= Annual Interest Payment Selling Price of Bond Annual Interest Payment= 60 Selling Price of Bond= 865.6 Current Yield = 6.93% Current Yield= Annual Interest Payment Selling Price of Bond Annual Interest Payment= 60 Selling Price of Bond= 920.58 Current Yield = 6.52% 2. a $1,000 bond has a 7.5 percent coupon and matures after ten years. If current interest rates are 10 percent, what should be the price of the bond? P b = Coupon*PVAIF X Principle*PVIF Coupon 75 (Coupon*PVAIF)= 460.875 PVAIF 6.145 (Principle*PVIF)= 386 Principle 1000 Pb= $846.88 PVIF 0.386 Price Value $846.88 b. If after six years interest rates are still 10 percent, what should be the price of the bond? P b = Coupon*PVAIF X Principle*PVIF Coupon 75 (Coupon*PVAIF)= 237.75 PVAIF 3.17 (Principle*PVIF)= 683 Principle 1000 Pb= $920.75 PVIF 0.683 Price Value $920.75 c. Even though interest rates did not change in a and b, why did the price of the bond change? The bond is being sold at a discount to begin with. But as the bond reaches closer to maturity the price of the bond will increase. Mathematically you can see that there is less periods (n) until maturity. Logically, a shorter investment period would net you less, so a steeper discount would make no sense. The less of an investment, the closer to the par value you should be.
Christopher Cauble TESU-FIN3010 Dr. Frank DeCaro d. Change the interest rate in a and b to 6 percent and rework your answers. Even though the interest rate is 6 percent in both calculations, why are the bond prices different? P b = Coupon*PVAIF X Principle*PVIF Coupon 75 (Coupon*PVAIF)= 552 PVAIF 7.36 (Principle*PVIF)= 564 Principle 1000 Pb= $1,116.00 PVIF 0.564 Price Value $1,116.00 P b = Coupon*PVAIF X Principle*PVIF Coupon 75 (Coupon*PVAIF)= 259.875 PVAIF 3.465 (Principle*PVIF)= 792 Principle 1000 Pb= $1,051.88 PVIF 0.792 Price Value $1,051.88 Just as stated before, the price on the bond is going to be affected by the remaining time until maturity or periods (n). While in this case, because bonds are affected inversely by interest rates, the price has risen and is now being sold at a premium. 3. Carrie’s Clothes, Inc. has a five-year bond outstanding that pays $60 annually. The face value of each bond is $1,000, and the bond sells for $890. a. What is the bond’s coupon rate? Annual Coupon= 60 Par value= 1000 Coupon Rate = Annual Coupon payment Par value of bond Coupon Rate = 6.00% b. What is the current yield? Current Yield= Annual Interest Payment Selling Price of Bond Annual Interest Payment= 60 Selling Price of Bond= 890 Current Yield = 6.74%
