Ethan owns a 1000 par value 10% bond with semiannual coupon. The bond will mature for 1000 at the end of 10 years. Current yield rates are 7% compounded semiannually. Ethan has decided that he would rather own an 8-year bond, and so he will sell the bond he owns and use all of the proceeds to purchase a 6% bond with semiannual coupons, maturing at par at the end of 8 years. Calculate the par value of the 8-year bond. Ethan owns a 1000 par value 10% bond with semiannual coupon. The bond will mature for 1000 at the end of 10 years.
