nanoterials, inc. has issued bonds with 20 years to maturity, an 8% coupon rate, and $1,000 face value. if your required rate of return is 9% and the bonds pay interest semiannually, what is the value of these bonds?

Answer :

Value of the Bonds = 907.99

The annual interest payment is divided by the number of payments per year for Bonds that pay interest more frequently than once a year. Because interest is usually paid twice a year, the annual interest payment must be divided by two.

The annual interest payment on the Nanoterials bonds is

$80 = (0.08 X 1,000),

but the semiannual payment is $40 = (80/2).

Furthermore, because interest is paid twice a year,

the required rate of return is 9% per year, or

4.5% = (0.09/2) per six-month period.

There are 40 = (20 X 2) six-month periods to maturity

Because there are 20 years to maturity.

As a result, the bonds' value is:

[tex]V = 40{}\frac{1-(1/1.045^{40} )}{0.045}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1000}{1.045^{40} }[/tex]

V = 907.99

Value of the Bonds = 907.99
