The purchase price P of a Rs. 50,000, 6% bond, dividends payable semi-annually, redeemable at par in 10 years, if the yield rate is to be 5% compounded semi-annually. Then P is equal :

[Given (1.025)−20=0.61027094(1.025)^{-20} = 0.61027094]

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Semi-annual dividend =0.03×50000=1500=0.03\times 50000=1500. Yield per period i=0.025i=0.025, n=20n=20.

P=Ci[1−(1+i)−n]+F(1+i)−nP=\frac{C}{i}[1-(1+i)^{-n}]+F(1+i)^{-n}

=60000(1−0.61027094)+50000(0.61027094)=60000(1-0.61027094)+50000(0.61027094)

=23383.74+30513.55=53897.29=23383.74+30513.55=53897.29.
