You purchase a corporate bond with a face value = $2000, coupon rate = 7%, years to maturity = 30, when the discount rate = 5%

Finance

You purchase a corporate bond with a face value = $2000, coupon rate = 7%, years to maturity = 30, when the discount rate = 5%. After 1 year(s) and after receiving the last period's coupon, you sell the bond when interest rates are 6%. What is your holding period return for this bond? Assume the bond pays semiannual coupons at the end of each period.

           K = Nx2
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
 
                  K =30x2
Bond Price =∑ [(7*2000/200)/(1 + 5/200)^k]     +   2000/(1 + 5/200)^30x2
                   k=1
 
Bond Price = 2618.17
Using Calculator: press buttons "2ND"+"FV" then assign
 
 
PMT = Par value * coupon %/coupons per year=2000*7/(2*100)
I/Y =5/2
N =30*2
FV =2000
CPT PV
 
Using Excel
=PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV,type)
=PV(5/(2*100),2*30,-7*2000/(2*100),-2000,)
                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
 
                  K =29x2
Bond Price =∑ [(7*2000/200)/(1 + 6/200)^k]     +   2000/(1 + 6/200)^29x2
                   k=1
 
Bond Price = 2273.31
Using Calculator: press buttons "2ND"+"FV" then assign
 
 
PMT = Par value * coupon %/coupons per year=2000*7/(2*100)
I/Y =6/2
N =29*2
FV =2000
CPT PV
 
Using Excel
=PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV,type)
=PV(6/(2*100),2*29,-7*2000/(2*100),-2000,)
rate of return/HPR = ((Selling price+Number of Coupon amount*Coupon amount)/Purchase price-1)
=((2273.31+2*70)/2618.17-1)
=-7.82%
