Question

Assume you purchase a Harley-Davidson Corporation bond that pays 5 percent or annual interest of $50 and has a face value of $1000. Also, assume new corporate bond issues of comparable quality are currently paying 6 percent. What is the approximate market value?

Answer 1

$833.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual Interest Paid = $50

Market Interest rate = 6%

The approximate market value = Annual interest paid / Market Interest rate

The approximate market value = $50 / 6%

The approximate market value = $50 / 0.06

The approximate market value = 833.3333333333333

The approximate market value = $833.33
