Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

A 25-year, $1,000 par value bond has an 8.5% annual payment coupon.  The bond currently sells for $900.  If the yield to maturity remains at its current rate, what will the price be 5 years from now?

 First you have to calculate the current yield to maturity. You do this by solving for the RATE function using the following criteria: 

Number of Periods = 25 
Annual Payment = $85 ($1,000 X 8.5%) 
Future Value $1,000 
Present Value -$875 

The RATE calculates to 9.863% 

Now calculate the Present Value using this criteria 

Future Value $1,000 
Number of Periods = 20 (25 - 5) 
Annual Payment = $85 ($1,000 X 8.5%) 
RATE = 9.863% 

The Present Value calculates to -$882.90 

So in five years, the bond will sell for $882.90
