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
