Navistar Electric issued 1000 debenture bonds 2 years ago with a face value of $5,000 each and a bond interest rate of 15% per year payable semiannually. The bonds have a maturity date of 20 years from the date they were issued. If the interest rate in the market place is 10% per year compounded semiannually, determine the present worth today of one bond.

Answer:

$7,081.25

Explanation:

Face value = 5000

Coupon = 15% paid annually. Semi annual payment = 750/2 = 375

Time to maturity = 18 years

Interest rate = 10% compounded semi-annually

P = 375(P|A, 5%, 36) + 5000(P|F, 5%, 36)

P = 375(16.58131488) + 5000(0.17265193)

P = 6217.99308 + 863.25965

P = 7081.25273

P = $7,081.25

So, the present worth of one bond today is  $7,081.25
