this slides contain: definitions related to bonds, bond value formula and some exercises, comparison between market interest and coupon interest and interest rate risk
2. BOND VALUATION
All bonds have the following characteristics:
1. A maturity date- typically 20-25 years.
2. A coupon rate- the rate of interest that the issuing
company pays to the holder.
3. A face value- usually $1000 or $5000.

3. BOND VALUATION
The value of a bond is the sum of the present value of the
annual interest payments plus the present value of the face
value;

- As interest rates increase present values decrease ( r
→ PV )
- As interest rates increase, bond prices decrease
and vice versa
6. BOND VALUATION
EXAMPLE
Find the value of a 20 year, 10%, $1000 face value bond.
The interest payment is given by: .10 x $1000 = $100/year
THE FORMULA IS:

if the coupon rate is 8%, then the formula for the value of
the bond is;

11. Interest Rate Risk
Price Risk
-Change in price due to changes in interest
rates –
Long-term bonds have more price risk than
short-term bonds
-Low coupon rate bonds have more price risk
than high coupon rate bonds
