Correction of Exercise 4, Chapter 3

Correction of Exercise 4, Chapter 3

1.      Sophea like viewing FanSlave of FB. Totally, she decided to buy 2 Bonds from FBFS cost $ 100.00. She can get paid in only 4 times of her coupon ( 1 time = 6 months), after 4 times, her bond will expire. Her bond discount rate per year is 8%.
Please define each price of her bond that she will sell sooner !
According to the formula of Bond Price:
            Where :
-         Pb is bond price or price of bond
-         Pn is par value = 2 Bonds / 2 =  $100.00 / 2 = $ 50.00
-         I = coupon rate or total return of each coupon = (8 x 100)/100 = 8 /2 =$4.00
-         Y = yield to maturity = discount rate = 8% = 0.08
-         t = 1 to n
-         n = total maturity return of each coupon   
o   Payment is made in  4 times = (6 x 4) = 24 months = 2 years
o   n = 2
>> Pb =[(4/1.08)+(4/(1.08)x(1.08))]+(50/(1.08)x(1.08)) = 50


Finally, the each of her bond price will be sold in $ 50.00
