The Brownstone Corporation bonds have 5 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually; the bonds have a $1,000 par value; and the coupon interest rate is 9%.

a) What is the yield to maturity at a current market price of (1) $829 or (2) $1,104?

b) Would you pay $829 for one of these bonds if you thought that the appropriate rate of interest was 12% - that is, if rd = 12%?

Explain your answer and show all formulas used.

Answer #1

a

1

                  K = N
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =5
829 =∑ [(9*1000/100)/(1 + YTM/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/100)^5
                   k=1
YTM% = 13.98

2

                  K = N
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =5
1104 =∑ [(9*1000/100)/(1 + YTM/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/100)^5
                   k=1
YTM% = 6.5

b

                  K = N
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =5
Bond Price =∑ [(9*1000/100)/(1 + 12/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 12/100)^5
                   k=1
Bond Price = 891.86

Yes because market price is lower than intrinsic price at 12% interest rate
