Question

Moerdyk Corporation's bonds have a 15-year maturity, a 5.25% coupon rate with interest paid semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. The nominal required rate of return on these bonds is 7.75%. What is the bond’s intrinsic value? Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places. Do not enter $ or comma in the answer box. For example, if your answer is $12,300.456 then enter as 12300.46 in the answer box.

Answer 1

K = Nx2

Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2

k=1

K =15x2

Bond Price =∑ [(5.25*1000/200)/(1 + 7.75/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 7.75/200)^15x2

k=1

Bond Price = 780.53
