What would be the value of a bond with a maturity of 8 years, 12% required rate of return. and interest paid semi-annually?
Present value Interest Factor (PVIF) = 1/(1+r)n
Present value Annuity Factor (PVAF) = 1/(1+r) +1/(1+r)2 +1/(1+r)3 ...............+1/(1+r)n
Where, r is discounting factor which is required return in our case = 12%
n is number of periods.
Assumptions (As the question contains very limited information)
Value of Bond = Present value of Cash Flows from Bond
Value of Bond = Present value of Semi Annual Interest + Present Value of Redemption amount
Value of Bond = Semi Annual Interest*PVIF((12/2)%,(8*2)) + Redemption amount*PVAF((12/2)%,(8*2))
Value of Bond = i*1.016 + 100*0.394
Value of Bond = 1.016i + 39.40
