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).
- 1000*0.225*1/2 = $11.25
- 0.0108*1/2 = 0.0054
- (-PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv))
- (-PV(0.0054,60,11.25,1000))
- = $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).
- 1000*0.225*1/2 = $11.25
- 0.036*1/2= 0.00018
- (-PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv))
- (-PV(0.00018,60,11.25,1000))
- = 1,660.57
