Ryngaert Inc. recently issued noncallable bonds that mature in 15 years. They have a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon of 5.7%. If the current market interest rate is 7.7%, at what price should the bonds sell

Respuesta :

Answer:

The bonds sell for $825.63

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. The bonds are annual bonds so the coupon payment is per year.

Coupon Payment = 1000 * 0.057  = $57

Total periods = 15

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 57 * [( 1 - (1+0.077)^-15) / 0.077]  +  1000 / (1+0.077)^15

Bond Price = $825.63
