Basic bond valuation
Complex Systems has an outstanding issue of $1,000-par- value bonds with a 12% coupon interest rate. The issue pays interest annually and
has 16 years remaining to its maturity date.
a. If bonds of similar risk are currently caring a 10% rate of return, how much
should the Complex Systems bond sell for today?
b. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on similar-risk bonds is below the
coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond.
c. If the required return were at 12% instead of 10%, what would the current value of Complex Systems' bond be? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss.
