A bond has been issued with a face value of Rs. 1000 at 10% Coupon for 3 years. The required rate of return is 8%. What is the value of the bond if the Coupon amount is payable on half-yearly basis?
a. 1520
b. 1052
c. 1205
d. 1025
Ans - b
Explanation :
Here,
FV = 1000
CR = 10% half-yearly = 5% p.a.
Coupon = FV × CR = 50
R = 8% yearly = 4% p.a.
t = 3 years
Bond Price = (1/(1+R)^t)((coupon*((1+R)^t-1)/R)+Face Value)
= 1052
(Since Coupon rate > YTM, so FV < Bond’s Value)

Suppose you purchased a bond Rs.1000 for Rs.920. The interest is 10 percent, and it will mature in 10 years. Calculate Yield to maturity
a. 10.75 %
b. 11.00 %
c. 11.25 %
d. 11.50 %
Ans – c
Solution :
C=Coupon payment
F=Face value
P=Price
n=Years to maturity
Yield To Maturity=C+(F-P/n)/(F+P/2)
=100+(1000-920/10)/(1000+920/2)
=100+(80/10)/(1920/2)
=100+8/960
=108/960
=0.1125
=11.25%

A bond has been issued with a face value of Rs. 20000 at 12% Coupon for 3 years. The required rate of return is 10%. What is the value of the bond?
a. 20595
b. 29095
c. 25095
d. 20995
Ans - d
Explanation :
Here,
FV = 20000
Coupon Rate (CR) = 0.12
t = 3 yr
R (YTM) = 0.10
Coupon = FV × CR = 2400
Bond Price = (1/(1+R)^t)((coupon*((1+R)^t-1)/R)+Face Value)
So, Value of bond = 20995
(Since Coupon rate > YTM, so FV < Bond’s Value)
