Pinder Co. produces and sells high-quality video equipment. To finance its operations, Pinder issued $25,000,000 of five-year, 7% bonds, with interest payable semiannually, at a market (effective) interest rate of 9%. Determine the present value of the bonds payable, using the present value tables in Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 7. Round to the nearest dollar. $fill in the blank 1

Bond Price or Present value = $23021820.4557 rounded off to $23021820

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, the present value, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the semi coupon payment, semi annual number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 25000000 * 0.07 * 6/12 = $875000

Total periods (n) = 5 * 2 = 10

r or YTM = 0.09 * 6/12 = 0.045 or 4.5%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 875000 * [( 1 - (1+0.045)^-10) / 0.045]  +

25000000 / (1+0.045)^10

Bond Price or Present value = $23021820.4557 rounded off to $23021820
