Bond valuationlong dashsemiannual interest find the value of a bond maturing in 4 years, with a $1 comma 000 par value and a coupon interest rate of 9% (4.5% paid semiannually) if the required return on similar-risk bonds is 15% annual interest (7.5 % paid semiannually).

824.28

Explanation:

Market price of a bond is the total sum of discounted coupon cashflow and par value at maturity. This is a 4-year bond with semi-annual payment so there will be 8 coupon payment in total. Let formulate the bond price as below:

Bond price = [(Coupon rate/2) x Par]/(1 + Required return/2) + [(Coupon rate/2) x Par]/(1 + Required return/2)^2 + ... + [(Coupon rate/2) x Par + Par]/(1 + Required return/2)^8

Putting all the number together, we have

Bond price = [(4.5%) x 1000]/(1 + 7.5%) + [(4.5%) x 1000]/(1 + 7.5%)^2 + ... + [(4.5%) x 1000 + 1000]/(1 + 7.5%)^8

                  = 824.28

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
