discounting factor
@7% cash flows
1 26.2 314.4 0.93 293.20
2 26.2 314.4 0.87 273.44
3 26.2 314.4 0.81 255.00
4 26.2 314.4 0.76 237.81

which is required to be paid with interest.
e) Yield to maturity of the Bond
particular Amount ($)
Annual coupon bonds 100
remaining maturity (years ) 8
annual coupon rate 4.1
Current price of bond 92

f) Amount of coupon payment
particular Amount ($)
Par value bonds 1000
Coupon rate(semi annually) 7.00%
years remaining for maturity 6
market rate of return 4.8
Coupon payment 35
From the above calculation it can be interpreted about the payment which is required to
be paid for the bonds (Gitman, Juchau and Flanagan, 2015). The coupon payment which is
calculated is 35 that means company is required to pay 35 for the bonds.
