Answer:
The market price of this bond is: $1,069.8.
Explanation:
To calculate the market price of the bond, we have to use the following formula:
Bond Price= C*((1-(1+r)^-n)/r)+(F/(1+r)^n)
C= periodic coupon payments: $1,000*7%= $70
F= Face value: $1,000
r= Yield to maturity: 5.85%
n= No. of periods until maturity: 8 years
Bond Price= 70*((1-(1+0.0585)^-8)/0.0585)+(1,000/(1+0.0585)^8)
Bond Price= 70*((1-0.635)/0.0585)+(1,000/1.58)
Bond Price= 70*6.24+633
Bond Price= 436.8+633
Bond Price= 1,069.8
