Continuing with the question below, let's say that interest rates stayed at 8% (didn't fall to 5%) and they will stay there for at least the next 5 years. What would be the value of Carnival's bonds in 2016? **Previous question: Bond Valuation-In 2013, Carnival Cruise Lines decided to sell some new bonds (something about fixing a big ship). They sold the bonds for $1,000 (face value) with a 20 year maturity and an 8% coupon. Two years have passed. Interest rates on similar bonds have declined to 5%. If an owner attempts to sell her/his Carnival bond bought for $1,000 in 2013, what should they expect to receive for it in the secondary market?
