Answer #1
Principle value $           100,000
Coupon rate 7%
Time in years 10
Discount rate 5%
Annual coupon $                7,000
PV of coupon payments
P = PMT x (((1-(1 + r) ^- n)) / i)
Where:
P = the present value of an annuity stream To be computed
PMT = the dollar amount of each annuity payment $                7,000
r = the effective interest rate (also known as the discount rate) ((1+5%/2)^2)-1) 5.0625%
i=nominal Interest rate 5%
n = the number of periods in which payments will be made 10
PV of coupon payments= PMT x (((1-(1 + r) ^- n)) / i)
PV of coupon payments= 7000*(((1-(1 + 5.0625%) ^- 10)) / 5%)
PV of coupon payments= $              54,562
PV of redemption value= 100000/(1+5.0625%)^10
PV of redemption value= $              61,027
PV of coupon + redemption= 54562+61027
PV of coupon + redemption= $           115,589
So the bond price is 115,589
