Correction of Exercise 3, Chapter 3

Correction of Exercise 3, Chapter 3

1.      Vichara is famous member of Unicity bond, he bought with the first price of each bond $100.00. He willing to sell his 5 bonds in the second market (sell to his friends). His  bond will last 2 years. Each coupon rate will be return to him every year is $ 30.00. Unicity market provides him interest rate according to real rate return = 1.6 %, inflation rate 0.4%, and risk return is 1 %.
Please find out the total price of all of his bonds will be sold in the second market!
According to the formula of Bond Price:


Where :
-         Pb = is bond price
-         Pn = par value = 100
-         I =  total return of each coupon = 30
-         Y = real rate return + inflation rate + risk return = 1.6 + 0.4 + 1 = 3% = 0.03
-         t = from 1 to n
-         n =  2
So Pb = [(30/1.03)+(30/(1.03)x(1.03))]+(100/(1.03)x(1.03))  = 151.66


The total price of all of his bonds is = 5 x Pb = $758.3
