You have decided to invest in two bonds. Bond X is an n-year bonod with semiannual coupons, while bond Y is zero-coupon bond, which is re- deemable in 2 years. The desired yield rate is the same for both bonds. You also have the following information:
Bond X:
Par value is 1000.
The ratio of the semi-annual bond rate to the desired semi-annual yield rate, that is is r/i 1.03125.
b. The present value of the redemption amount is 381.50.
Bond Y:
Redemption value is the same as that of bond X.
Price to yield is 647.80.
What is the price of bond X?

The price of the bond X is 1055.09.
Explanation:
The price of Bond X can be determined as follows:
Let:
R = Present value of the Redemption amount of X and Y
i = yield of both Bond X and Bond Y
For Bond X, we have:
381.5 = R / (1+i)n ………………… (1)
For Bond Y, we have:
647.80. = R/(1+i)(n/2) ……………….. (2)
Use equation (2) to divide equation (1), we have:
381.5/647.8 = 1/ (1+i)(n/2) ……………………….. (3)
0.588916332201297= 1/ (1+i)(n/2)
(1+i)(n/2) = 1 / 0.588916332201297
(1+i)(n/2) = 1.69803407601573
647.80 = R / 1.69803407601573
R = 647.80 * 1.69803407601573 = 1,099.99, or 1,100
Now, also let:
r = coupon rate of Bond X
P= present value of Cash flows of Bond X
Therefore, we have:
P = 1000 * (r/2) / (1+i)0.5 + 1000*(r/2)/ (1+i)1++1000 * (r/2) /(1+i)n+ 1100/(1+i)n
It can be observed that we have 2n terms indicating present value of 2n semiannual coupon payments and last term is present value of Redemption amount.
Applying GP formula, we have:
P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1- (1+i)-n) / ((1+i)(1/2) -1) + 1100 * (1+i)-n
Looking at equation (3), we it can be observed that we can have:
(1+i)-(n/2) = 381.5/647.8 = 0.588916
Therefore, we have:
(1+i)-n = 0.5889162= 0.346822
By employing the Binomial approximation, we have:
(1+i)(1/2)= 1+i/2+... very small terms = 1 + i/2
This indicates that:
(1+i)(1/2)-1 = i/2
If we substitute this into the price equation, we will have
P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1-0.346822) / ( i/2) + 1100 * 0.346822 = 1000 * (r/i) * 0.653178 + 381.504
Since r/i = 1.03125, we have:
P = 653.178 * 1.03125 + 381.504 = 1055.09
Therefore, the price of the bond X is 1055.09.
