    What is the new price of the bond?

    Price $817,95

    Explanation:

    To know the new Price of the bond we need first to calculate the Present Value of the Principal and then through the annuity method calculate the Present Value of the coupons.

    Bond Value

    Principal Present Value = F / (1 + r) ^t

    Coupon Present Value = C x [1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^t] / r

    The price of this bond it's $475,92 + $342,03 = $817,95

    Bond $1,000

    Coupon $62,00

    SemmiAnnual Coupon $31,00

    SemmiAnnual Rate 3,1%

    YTM 9,5%

    Semiannual YTM Rate 4,75%

    Years 8

    Periods 16

    Present Value of Bonds $475,92 = $1,000 / (1+0,0475) ^16

    Bond $1.000

    Coupon $62,00

    SemmiAnnual Coupon $31,00

    SemmiAnnual Rate 3,1%

    YTM Rate 9,50%

    Semiannual YTM Rate 4,75%

    Years 8

    Periods 16

    Present Value of Coupons $342,03 = $31 (Coupon) x 11,03

    11,03 = [1 - 1 / (1+0,0475) ^16 ] / 0,0475
