Respuesta :

The price of the bond if the yield to maturity falls to 7%, based on the period and amount will be $1,620.45.

What is the price of the bond at 7%?

We shall assume that the bond has a face value of $1,000.

The coupon is:

= 12% x 1,000

= $120

The price is:
= (Coupon x Present value interest factor of annuity, 30 years, 7%) + Face value of bond / ( 1 + rate) ^ number of periods

= (120 x 12.409) + (1,000 / (1 + 7%)³⁰)

= $1,620.45
