Chapter 7:
Ex. 6: Weismann Co. issued 15-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 4.9 percent. The bonds
make semiannual payments and have a par value of $1,000. If the YTM on these bonds is 4.5
percent, what is the current bond price?
Semi-annual coupon payment = (4.9%/2)*1,000 = $24.5
Number of payments = 15*2 = 28 = n
The semi-annual rate = 4.5%/2 = 2.25% = i
P0 = [24.5*((1 + 2.25%)^28 – 1)/(2.25%*(1 + 2.25%)^28)] + 1000/(1 + 2.25%)^28
= 504.8919 + 536.3239
= 1,041.22
Ex. 7: West Corp. issued 25-year bonds two years ago at a coupon rate of 5.3 percent. The bonds
make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 105 percent of par value, what is the
YTM?
n = 23*2 = 46
i = 5.3%/2 = 2.65%
Current price = 1,000*105% = $1,050
Par value = $1,000
Semi-annual coupon payment = 1,000*2.65% = $26.5
Excel: =Rate(46,26.5, - 1050,1000) = 2,47%
YTM = 2*2.47% = 4.93%
Ex. 9: You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 17 years to maturity. If the
yield to maturity on this bond is 4.2 percent, what is the price of the bond? Assume semiannual
compounding periods.
FV = $10,000
n = 17*2 = 34
i = 4.2%/2 = 2.1%
0 = PV + 10,000/(1 + 2.1%)^34 = $4,933.16
PV = - 4,933.16
