Assume venture Healthcare sold bonds that have a ten year maturity,a 12 percent coupon rate with annual payment,and a $1000 par value.Suppose that two years after the bonds were issued ,the required interest rate fell to 7 percent .what would be the bond value?
Well, well, well, looks like our good ol' friend Venture Healthcare and their fancy bonds are back! So, let's calculate the bond value, shall we?
First things first, we need to figure out the number of years remaining until maturity. Since two years have already passed, that means there are 10 - 2 = 8 years remaining.
Now, let's break it down. The bond makes annual interest payments of 12% on its $1000 par value, which means it pays $1000 * 0.12 = $120 each year.
Next, we need to determine the present value of these future cash flows. To do that, we'll use the formula for the present value of an annuity:
PVA = PMT * [1 - (1 + r)^(-n)] / r
Where:
PVA = Present Value of the Annuity (Bond Value)
PMT = Annual Interest Payment ($120)
r = Required Interest Rate (7% or 0.07)
n = Number of Remaining Years (8)
Plugging in the numbers, we get:
PVA = $120 * [1 - (1 + 0.07)^(-8)] / 0.07
Now, let me just bring out my calculator...

Calculating...calculating...and we have a winner! The bond value, my friend, is approximately $120 * 6.6265, which comes out to be around $795.18.
So, according to my calculations, the bond value of Venture Healthcare's fancy bonds, two years after issuance, would be around $795.18. Keep in mind, though, that this is all just a little clowning around with numbers!
To calculate the bond value, we can use the present value of a bond formula. The formula is as follows:
Bond Value = (C * (1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r) + (F / (1 + r)^n)
Where:
C = Coupon payment (annual interest payment) = Coupon rate * Par value
r = Required interest rate (yield to maturity)
n = Number of periods (in this case, number of years)
Given:
Coupon rate = 12% = 0.12
Par value = $1000
Years to maturity = 10
Required interest rate after 2 years = 7% = 0.07
First, let's calculate the annual coupon payment:
C = 0.12 * $1000 = $120
Next, calculate the number of periods:
Since 2 years have passed, the remaining periods will be 10 - 2 = 8.
Now, let's calculate the bond value using the formula:
Bond Value = (C * (1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r) + (F / (1 + r)^n)
Bond Value = ($120 * (1 - (1 + 0.07)^-8) / 0.07) + ($1000 / (1 + 0.07)^8)
Calculating the equation will give us the bond value.
