You are considering investing in a GM bond with 7 years to maturity. The face value of the bond is $1,000. The coupon rate is 6% (annual payments). When the market requires a yield to maturity of 5% for this bond, what is the price of the GM bond

Respuesta :

Answer:

Price of bond is = $ 1057

Explanation:

As we know that;

Price of bond = C * [1-(1+r)∧-n] / r  +   F / (1+r)∧n

where C = periodic coupon payment = 1000 * 6%= 60

         F = Face value of bond = 1000

        r = yield to maturity = 5% = 0.05

        n = number of periods till maturity = 7 years

         Putting values;

              = 60 * [ 1- (1+ 0.05)∧-7 ]/ 0.05  +  1000 / (1+0.05)∧7

              = 60 * (0.2893 / 0.05) +   710

             =  60 * 5.786 +  710

              =  347.16 +710

              =  1057
