The fifteen-year bond yields 6.7% and has a coupon of 8.7%. If this yield to maturity remains unchanged, what will be its price one year hence? Assume annual coupon payments and a face value of $100.

Answer:

The price of the bond in year's time is $117.81

Explanation:

In calculating the value in a year's time I used the financial function present value in excel

The inputs required are:

rate=yield=6.7%

interest on par value at 8.7%=100*8.7%=8.7

Face value=$100

Number of years is 14years(15-1), it is assumed that calculation is done a year from now.

The formula for present value in excel =PV(rate,nper,pmt,(fv),(type))

By slotting the variables as above, the pv is $117.81 as found in the attached
