how much should be paid for a bond with a coupon rate of 3.8% a yield to maturity of 6.2% and it wil mature in 7 years
To calculate the price of a bond, you can use the formula:
Price = (C × [1 - (1 + r)^-n]) / r + (F / (1 + r)^n)
Where:
- C represents the annual coupon payment
- r represents the yield to maturity (expressed as a decimal)
- n represents the number of periods until maturity
- F represents the face value of the bond
Given the information you provided:
- Coupon Rate = 3.8% (0.038 as a decimal)
- Yield to Maturity = 6.2% (0.062 as a decimal)
- Maturity = 7 years
However, we need the face value of the bond (F) to complete the calculation. Please provide the face value, and I will help you calculate the price of the bond.
