Computation of Value of Bond using PV Function in Excel:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

Here,

PV = Value of Bond = ?

Rate = 12%

Nper = 8 years

PMT = $1,000*9% = $90

FV = $1,000

Substituting the values in formula:

=-pv(12%,8,90,1000)

PV or Value of Bond = $850.97

 

Market price of bond is higher than its expected value. So, this bond should not be purchased.
