Question: Please check if 6 is right and if not correct. 5. Compute the value of a bond with a typical $1000 par value, a coupon

Please check if 6 is right and if not correct.

5. Compute the value of a bond with a typical $1000 par value, a coupon rate of 2.25% with semi-annual payments, and a 30-year maturity if investors required a yield to maturity of 1.08% on the bond (or 108 basis points).

  1. 1000*0.225*1/2 = $11.25
  2. 0.0108*1/2 = 0.0054
  3. (-PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv))
  4. (-PV(0.0054,60,11.25,1000))
  5. = $1,299.13

6. Compute the value of the bond in b.5 if investors suddenly required a yield to maturity of 0.036% on the bond (or 360 basis points).

  1. 1000*0.225*1/2 = $11.25
  2. 0.036*1/2= 0.00018
  3. (-PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv))
  4. (-PV(0.00018,60,11.25,1000))
  5. = 1,660.57
