F=face value
C=Coupon Payment = F *contractual interest rate
N=number of payments
i= market interest rate
M= Value at maturity
P=Market price of the bond also known as the fair market value
F=200000 (face Value) ; C= 200,000*5%=50 ; N= 5; i= 4% ; M=200,000
So Bond’s Price today is = 10000((1-1.04^(-5))/ 0.04) + 200,000(1.04)^(-5) = $208,903 so the bond is undervalued. This makes it a great bond to but for any investor at face value.
Part I: b) What is the bond's price today if market rate is 6%?
F=200000 (face Value) ; C= 200,000*5%=50 ; N= 5; i= 6% ; ...
