Elizabeth wants to accumulate dollar 12,000 by the end of 5 years. If the annual interest rate is 7%, how much will she have to invest today to achieve her goal? A certain bond pays dollar 60 of coupon interest annually, and has a face value of dollar 1,000. What is the coupon rate of the bond? Solution 1. PV= Fv/(1+i) )^n =12,000/(1+7%) ^5 =12000/1.4025 = $8556.14 2. Coupon Rate of the bond = annual pay/ bond face value = $60/$1000 = 0.06= 6%.
