Question 61

HardOriginal question

A bond with face value ₹100 pays a 12% coupon and is repaid, with that coupon, in 1 year. Buyers require 8% a year. To the nearest paisa, what is it worth? (Take 11.08=0.9259\frac{1}{1.08} = 0.9259.)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. In a year the holder receives 100+12=112100 + 12 = 112 rupees.

  2. Value =112×0.9259≈103.70= 112 \times 0.9259 \approx 103.70 rupees: a premium, as 12% beats 8%.

Worth noting

₹112 is what is received in a year, not what it is worth today.
