- Now, suppose in the second year. (how many years to maturity?), interest rates on a similar type of bond increases to 5%. What is the value of the bond?
Po =40(12.085)+1000(0.396)=$879.4
- Next, after another year, with the market rate still at 5%, what will be the value of the bond?
P=40(11.69)+1000(0.416)=$883.6
