Card 6Bond Valuation

Write the present value formula for bond valuation.

Answer

Card 7Bond Valuation

A ₹1,000, 10% bond is redeemable in 5 years at par. Find the purchase price to yield 8% effective rate.

Answer

Given: Face value = ₹1,000, Coupon rate = 10%, Yield = 8%, n = 5 years R = 1000 × 0.10 = ₹100 V = 100[1-(1.08)⁻⁵]/0.08 + 1000(1.08)⁻⁵ V = 100(3.9927) + 1000(0.6806) = 399.27 + 680.58 = ₹1,079.85

Card 8EMI

What is EMI and what are the two methods to calculate it?

Answer

EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is a monthly payment towards a loan at a fixed date every month. Two calculation methods: (1) Flat Rate Method: EMI = (P+I)/n, where interest is calculated on original
