i. 𝑃𝑉 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑛𝑑 = 𝑃𝑉 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑙 + 𝑃𝑉 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑎𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 ii. 𝑷𝑽 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒏𝒅 = 𝑷𝑽 𝒙 (𝑷𝑽 𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒊, 𝒏) + 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒙 (𝑷𝑽𝑨 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒊, 𝒏) iii. Use Market Rate when finding the PV of the bond. b. Bonds issued at a discount [Coupon rate < Market Rate] i. Price of the Bond < Face Value 1. 𝑃𝑉 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐵𝑜𝑛𝑑 = 𝑃𝑉 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑙 + 𝑃𝑉 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 2.

𝑃𝑉 𝑜𝑓 𝑧𝑒𝑟𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑝𝑜𝑛 𝑏𝑜𝑛𝑑 = 𝑃𝑉 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 (𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑠)
