Types of Bonds
1. Premium bonds:
2. Discount bonds:
3. Par bonds:
For simplicity we assume that the interest is paid annually. In this case, we see
that the bond is priced at its face value of $1000.
Bond Price =
1.10
(1.10) 2
= $1,000
Bond Price = Face Value
Bond Price =
1.12
(1.12) 2
= $966.20
If (market) interest rates fell to 8%, the bond would sell at:
Bond Price =
1.08
(1.08) 2
= $1,035.67
Premium Bond = Bond Price > Face Value
Because $1,035.67 is more than $1,000, the bond
said to sell at a premium.

Semiannual Bonds
Long-term bonds have more interest rate risk than shortterm bonds
Figure 6.2
Computing YTM
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
If you have a financial calculator, enter N, PV, PMT and FV,
remembering the sign convention (PMT and FV need to
have the same sign; PV the opposite sign)

Repayment
Some sinking funds start about 10 years after the initial issuance
Some sinking funds establish equal payments over the life of the bond.
Some high-quality bond issues establish payments to the sinking fund that are
sufficient to redeem the entire issue. As a consequence, there is the possibility of a
large balloon payment at maturity.
Call price: usually is above the bonds stated value (par value).
Call premium: The difference between the call price and the par value.
The amount of the call premium usually becomes smaller over time.
