A company invested in a 5 year bond issue of another company in 2000 carrying a coupon rate of 10% per annum. The interest payable at half-yearly rates and the principal repayable after 5 years in 2004 end. The current market yield has fallen to 9% during 2001. The investor company wanted to take advantage of the fall in market yiel;d by selling the bond to any willing buyer. Compute the value of the bond at the end of 2001.
Thanks in advance
