Bonds-1. Interest on a certain issue of bonds is paid annually with a coupon rate of 8%. The bonds have a par value of $1‚000. The yield to maturity is 9%. What is the current market piece of these bonds? The bonds will mature in 5 years. P= CPN x (1/y) {1-[1/(1+y)^n] + [FV/ (1+y)^n] CPN= 1000 x .08= 80 P= 80 (1/.09) {1- [1/(1.09)^5]} + [1000/(1.09)^5] = 73.39 (.351) + 649.35 = $675.11 Bonds-2.
