Problem:
A careful review of Chapters 5 and 6 revealed a progressive relations ship between the time value of money (TVM) formula, the annuity formula and the Bond Value (price) formula. Based on this review one could make the argument that the present value of a bond could be computed using only the TVM Prevent value formula.
Required:
Question 1: Create your own simple bond valuation problem- with respective values for: Coupon, Face value, Years to maturity, and Yield to maturity (interest rate).
Question 2: Then outline how you would solve this problem using only the TVM Present value formula.
Question 3: Finally explain why the complex bond formula is used instead of the simpler present value approach you outlined.
Please explain in detail and also provide step by step solution of each question.
