MediumOriginal question

A bond with face value ₹1,000 pays a 10% 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.)

Explanation

  1. In a year the holder receives 1,000+100=1,1001{,}000 + 100 = 1{,}100 rupees.

  2. Value =1,100×0.9259=1,018.49= 1{,}100 \times 0.9259 = 1{,}018.49 rupees, a premium.
