Kevin rogers is interested in buying a five-year bond that pays a coupon of 10 percent on a semiannual basis. the current market rate for similar bonds is 8.8 percent. what should be the current price of this bond? (do not round intermediate computations. round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)

The bonds price is $1,047.71

Explanation:

The present value of a bond will be the coupon payment and maturity discounted at the current market rate.

We assume the bonds face value is 1,000 dollars.

The coupon payment wil be an ordinary annuity:

C: 1,000 x 10%/2 payment per year = $50

time10 (5 years x 2 payment per year)

rate0.044 (8.8% annual / 2 = 4.4% semiannual)

PV$397.5884

Then, maturity will be the present value of a lump sum

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.044

PV   650.12

We add both together and get:

PV of coupon payment + PV of maturity:

$397.5884 + $650.1222 = $1,047.7106

answer: b. false

the staff is a set of five horizontal lines and four spaces which represent a different musical pitch. the lines and the spaces are numbered from bottom to top, the bottom line is the first line and the fifth line is the line on the top. the notes on the top of the staff (fifth line) have a higher pitch than a note at the bottom of the staff.
