Question: Waters, Inc., has outstanding a $100 million (face value) issue of bonds. The bonds pay a coupon rate of interest of 8 percent per annum.

Waters, Inc., has outstanding a $100 million (face value) issue of bonds. The bonds pay a coupon rate of interest of 8 percent per annum. At the time the bonds were first issued, they sold at face value of $1,000 per bond. The bonds have 12 years remaining until maturity. They are “puttable” at the option of the bondholder at face value in 5 years. The bonds are not callable by the company. If you require a 9 percent return on bonds such as these with 5 years remaining until maturity and 8.2 percent on bonds such as these with 12 years remaining until maturity, how much would you pay for one of these bonds?
