10-14. Solution:

Calculator Solution:
N I/Y PV PMT FV
Answer: $1,224.08 Bond price
N I/Y PV PMT FV
Answer: $224.08 + 1,000 = 1,224.08 Bond price
a. Present Value of Interest Payments
Present Value of Principal Payment at Maturity
PV = FV × PVIF (n = 20, i = 12%) Appendix B
PV = $1,000 × .104 = $104
b. PVA = A × PVIFA (n = 20, i = 12%) Appendix D
$1,224.07
c. The answer to part a of $1,224.35 and part b of $1,224.07 are
basically the same because in both cases we are valuing the
present value of a $30 differential between actual return and
required return for 20 years.
In part b, we take the present value of the $30 differential to
arrive at $224.07. We then add this value to the $1,000 par
In part a, we accomplish the same goal by valuing all future
15. Effect of yield to maturity on bond price (LO10-2 and 3) Media Bias Inc. issued bonds
10 years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 40-year life when issued and the annual
interest payment was then 12 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by
bondholders at that point in time as described next:
Real rate of return............ 2%
Inflation premium............ 5
Risk premium................... 5
Total return................... 12%
Assume that 10 years later, due to good publicity, the risk premium is now 2 percent and is
appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds
have 30 years remaining until maturity. Compute the new price of the bond.
10-15. Solution:
Media Bias Inc.
First compute the new required rate of return (yield to maturity)
Then, use this value to find the price of the bond.

16. Effect of yield to maturity on bond price (LO10-2 and 3) Wilson Oil Company issued
bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 25-year life when issued and
the annual interest payment was then 15 percent. This return was in line with the required
returns by bondholders at that point in time as described next:
Real rate of return............ 8%
Inflation premium............ 3
Risk premium................... 4
Total return................... 15%
Assume that 10 years later, due to bad publicity, the risk premium is now 7 percent and is
appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds
have 15 years remaining until maturity. Compute the new price of the bond.
10-16. Solution:
Wilson Oil Company
First compute the new required rate of return (yield to maturity).
