2) Four years after the original issue (#1 above), with 8 years remaining on the original bond, all banks are taken over the federal government and the current market rate of interest for all “new” bonds will be 3% (market rate of interest) and the current owner decides to sell the bond and move to Australia which has a stronger form of capitalism.

a] | The bond prices have an inverse relationship with market | |
rates of interest. | ||
When market rate = coupon rate, Price = Face value | ||
When market rate > coupon rate, Price < Face value | ||
When market rate < coupon rate, Price < Face value | ||
Here, as the market interest rate is greater than the coupon | ||
rate, the Price<Face value. Hence, the bond is sold at a | ||
discount. | ||
b] | The price of a bond is the sum of the following: | |
1] The present value of the maturity value [which | ||
is usually the face value], and | ||
2] The present value of the coupons that are to be | ||
received periodically till the maturity of the bond. | ||
The coupons constitute an annuity [half yearly] | ||
For discounting, the discount rate to be used is the | ||
market interest rate-half yearly. | ||
Price [for the total bond issue] = 1000000/1.035^24+1000000*2.5%*(1.035^24-1)/(0.025*1.025^24) = | $ 1,147,477.83 | |
Price per bond = 1000/1.035^24+1000*2.5%*(1.035^24-1)/(0.025*1.025^24) = | $ 1,147.48 | |
2] | ||
a] | As the market interest rate is now less than the coupon rate | |
the bond's price will be higher than the face value and hence | ||
the bond is a premium bond. | ||
Price [for the total bond issue] = 1000000/1.015^16+1000000*2.5%*(1.015^16-1)/(0.015*1.015^16) = | $ 1,141,312.64 | |
Price per bond = 1000/1.015^16+1000*2.5%*(1.015^16-1)/(0.015*1.015^16) = | $ 1,141.31 |
