The present value of the face value (i.e. the maturity value) is calculated as follows: Therefore, the price of a bond is given by the following formula: Example 1: Bond with annual coupon payments. Company A has issued a bond having face value of $100,000 carrying annual coupon rate of 8% and maturing in 10 years. The market interest rate is 10%. The price of the bond is calculated as the present value of all future cash flows: Example 2: Bond with semiannual coupon payments. Company S has issued a bond having face value of $100,000 carrying coupon rate of 9% to be paid semiannually and maturing in 10 years.
Market Price of Bonds Payable. [Key Concept] Price of bonds = Present value of principal + Present value of interest payments Interest to be paid each period is determined by coupon rate (stated interest rate) for that period. Present value calculation is based on market interest rate. [Exercise 1] On January 1, 2011, Company A issues long-terms bonds which are due on January 1, 2016. Interest is paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1 each year. Face amount of bonds is $500,000 with stated interest rate (coupon rate) of 10%.
