You buy a 20 year, $1000 par bond today for par (meaning you pay
$1,000 for it) when the coupon rate is 10%
After youve held the bond investment for a week, you decide that
you need the money (cash) more than you need the investment
Interest (usually)
Principal (usually)
Maturity (in years)
In practice most
bonds pay
interest semiannually.

This is an

This is a

Coupon rate
Determines the size of the interest payments
14
The unknown will be either the interest rate or the present value
When solving for the interest rate, the price of the bond must be
inputted as a negative value while the PMT and FV must be inputted as
a positive value

Example
Q: The Emory Corporation issued an 8%, 25-year bond 15 years ago. At the time
of issue it sold for its par (face) value of $1,000. Comparable bonds are yielding
10% today. What must Emorys bond sell for in todays market to yield 10%
(YTM) to the buyer? Assume the bond pays interest semiannually. Also
calculate the bonds current yield.
A: We need to solve for the present value of the bonds expected cash flows at
todays interest rate. Well use Equation 6.4 to do so:
PB PMT[PVFA k, n ] + FV[PVFk, n ]
The payment is 8%
x $1,000, or $80
annually. However,
it is received in the
form of $40 every
six months.
N represents the
number of interestpaying periods until
maturity, or 10 years
x 2 = 20.

Call Provisions
23
Call Provisions
Call provisions allow bond issuers to retire
bonds before maturity by paying a
premium (penalty) to bondholders
Many corporations offer a deferred call
period (meaning the bond wont be called
for at least x years after the initial issuing
date)

Bond RatingsAssessing
Default Risk
Bond rating agencies (such as Moodys,
S&P) evaluate bonds (and issuing firms)
and assign a rating to each bond issued
by a corporation
These ratings gauge the probability that
issuers will fail to meet their obligations
