Bonds and Bond Valuation
 A bond is a legally binding agreement between
a borrower and a lender that specifies the:
 Par (face) value
 Coupon rate
 Coupon payment
 Maturity Date
 The yield to maturity is the required market

interest rate on the bond.
8-4
Bond Valuation
 Primary Principle:
 Value of financial securities = PV of expected
future cash flows
 Bond value is, therefore, determined by the
present value of the coupon payments and par
value.
 Interest rates are inversely related to present
(i.e., bond) values.

Bond Example
 Consider a U.S. government bond with as 6 3/8%
coupon that expires in December 2013.
 The Par Value of the bond is $1,000.
 Coupon payments are made semiannually (June 30 and
December 31 for this particular bond).
 Since the coupon rate is 6 3/8%, the payment is $31.875.
 On January 1, 2009 the size and timing of cash flows are:
$31.875 $31.875 $31.875 $1,031.875

YTM and Bond Value
When the YTM < coupon, the bond
1300 trades at a premium.

When the YTM > coupon, the bond trades at a discount. 8-10
Bond Concepts
 Bond prices and market interest rates move
in opposite directions.
 When coupon rate = YTM, price = par
value
 When coupon rate > YTM, price > par
value (premium bond)
 When coupon rate < YTM, price < par
value (discount bond)
8-11
Computing Yield to Maturity
 Yield to maturity is the rate implied by the
current bond price.
 Finding the YTM requires trial and error if you
do not have a financial calculator and is similar
to the process for finding r with an annuity.
 Interpolation:
lower rate −YTM lower price −market price
 =
upper rate −lower rate upper price −lower price
8-12
YTM with Annual Coupons
 Consider a bond with a 10% annual coupon
rate, 15 years to maturity, and a par value of
$1,000. The current price is $928.09.
 Will the yield be more or less than 10%?
8-13
YTM with Semiannual Coupons
 Suppose a bond with a 10% coupon rate and
semiannual coupons has a face value of
$1,000, 20 years to maturity, and is selling for
$1,197.93.
 Is the YTM more or less than 10%?
 What is the semi-annual coupon payment?
 How many periods are there?
8-14
Bond Pricing Theorems
 Bonds of similar risk (and maturity) will be
priced to yield about the same return,
regardless of the coupon rate.
 If you know the price of one bond, you can
estimate its YTM and use that to find the price
of the second bond.
 This is a useful concept that can be transferred
to valuing assets other than bonds.
8-15
Zero Coupon Bonds
 Make no periodic interest payments (coupon rate =
0%)
 The entire yield to maturity comes from the
difference between the purchase price and the par
value
 Cannot sell for more than par value
 Sometimes called zeroes, deep discount bonds, or
original issue discount bonds (OIDs)
 Treasury Bills and principal-only Treasury strips are
good examples of zeroes

Pure Discount Bonds
Information needed for valuing pure discount bonds:
 Time to maturity (T) = Maturity date - today’s date
 Face value (F)
 Discount rate (r)
