Lance Whittingham IV specializes in buying deep discount bonds. These represent bonds that are trading at well below par value. He has his eye on a bond issued by the Leisure Time Corporation. The $1,000 par value bond pays 6 percent annual interest and has 15 years remaining to maturity. The current yield to maturity on similar bonds is 11 percent. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
a. What is the current price of the bonds?
b. By what percent will the price of the bonds increase between now and maturity? (Round "PV Factor" to 3 decimal places, intermediate and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) Price increases by %

Answer:

Future value = FV = 1000

Annual interest = i = 0.06

Yield to maturity = y = 0.15

Number of years = N = 15

Annuity Value = A = 60

PV_IFA = 5.847

PV_IF = 0.1229

1. PV of interest = A*PV_IFA   =  350.82

PV of principal = FV * PV_IF = 122.9

Bond Price =                             $473.72

2. Percent increase at maturity

Maturity Value      $1,000.00

Current price        $473.72

Dollar increase     $526.28
