Hello everyone.
00:02
So the question says that you have just purchased a municipal bond with a $10 ,000 per value of $9 ,500.
00:09
You purchased it immediately after the previous owner received a semi -annual interest payment.
00:15
The bond rate is 6 .6 % per year pay bills semi -annually.
00:19
You plan to hold the bond for five years selling the bond immediately after you receive the interest payment.
00:25
If you desired nominal yield is 2 % per year, compounded semi -annually, what will be your minimum selling price for the bond? so, the bond is purchased today for $9 ,500.
00:43
Over the next five years, the bond houndler will receive 10 coupon payments of 330 each.
00:49
So it will be 6 .6 divided by 2 multiplied by 10 ,000.
00:58
So, the required nominal yield is 2 % per year or 1 % per half year.
01:21
Now, the price at which the bond must be sold at the end of year 5 in order to earn this yield can be calculated using the formula to calculate the price of bond.
01:32
So it will be price is equals to present value of coupon payments plus, present value of final principal payment...
