Cash flow time line: Equation
solution: Find the compounded value at Year 8 of the postponed interest payments
= $80(1.06)7 + $80(1.06)6 + $80(1.06)5 + $80(1.06)4
= $441.83 payable at t = 8.
Now find the value of the bond considering all cash flows
= $80(1/1.28)5 + $80(1/1.28)6 + $80(1/1.28)7
+ $80(1/1.28)8 + $1,000(1/1.28)8 + $441.83(1/1.28)8 = $266.86.
Financial calculator solution: Calculate FV of deferred interest Inputs: CF0 = 0; CF1 = 80;
Nj = 4; CF2 = 0; Nj = 4; I = 6. Output: NFV = $441.828. Calculate VB, which is the PV of
scheduled interest, deferred accrued interest, and maturity value Inputs: CF0 = 0; CF1 =
0; Nj = 4; CF2 = 80; Nj = 3; CF3 = 1,521.83; I = 28. Output: NPV = $266.88; Vd = $266.88.

39. Marie Snell recently inherited some bonds (face value $100,000) from her father, and soon thereafter she became
engaged to Sam Spade, a University of Florida marketing graduate. Sam wants Marie to cash in the bonds so the two of
them can use the money to “live like royalty” for two years in Monte Carlo. The 2 percent annual coupon bonds mature on
January 1, 2030, and it is now January 1, 2010. Interest on these bonds is paid annually on December 31 of each year, and
new annual coupon bonds with similar risk and maturity are currently yielding 12 percent. If Marie sells her bonds now
and puts the proceeds into an account which pays 10 percent compounded annually, what would be the largest equal
annual amounts she could withdraw for two years, beginning today (i.e., two payments, the first payment today and the
second payment one year from today)?
