Answer:
Price of bond=$691.034
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
Let us assume the bond had a per value of 1000 and also redeemable at par
The value of the bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
semi Annual interest payment
= 8.5% × 1000 × 1/2= 42.5
PV of interest payment
= 42.5 × (1-(1.0629)^(-25×)/0.0629)
=643.6780
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = 1000 × (1-(1.0629)^(-25×2) = 47.35
Step 3
Price of bond
=643.678 + 47.356
=$691.034
Price of bond=$691.034
