You are called in as a financial analyst to appraise the bonds of Olsen's Clothing Stores. The $1,000 par value bonds have a quoted annual interest rate of 11 percent, which is paid semiannually. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 14 percent annual interest. There are 15 years to maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. a. Compute the price of the bonds based on semiannual analysis. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Bond price b. With 10 years to maturity, if yield to maturity goes down substantially to 10 percent, what will be the new price of the bonds? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) New bond price Katie Pairy Fruits Inc. has a $2,600 18-year bond outstanding with a nominal yield of 15 percent (coupon equals 15% * $2,600 = $390 per year). Assume that the current market required interest rate on similar bonds is now only 12 percent. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. a. Compute the current price of the bond. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Assume interest payments are annual.) Current price of the bond b. Find the present value of 3 percent * $2,600 (or $78) for 18 years at 12 percent. The $78 is assumed to be an annual payment. Add this value to $2,600. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Assume interest payments are annual.) Present value You are called in as a financial analyst to appraise the bonds of Olsen's Clothing Stores.
