Question

Caspian Sea Drinks needs to raise $41.00 million by issuing bonds. It plans to issue a 14.00 year semi-annual pay bond that has a coupon rate of 5.07%. The yield to maturity on the bond is expected to be 4.84%. How many bonds must Caspian Sea issue? (Note: Your answer may not be a whole number. In reality, a company would not issue part of a bond.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Coupon rate = 5.07%

Yield to maturity = 4.84%

Rate = Yield/2 = 2.42%

N = 14 = 14*2 semiannually = 28 semiannually

Face value = $1000

PMT = (face value*coupon rate)/2 = $25.35

Need to find price which is PV

Using the financial calculator, PV = $1023

Number of bonds to be issued = 41,000,000/1023 = 40,078
