1. What is the Bond Issue Price Formula?

The bond issue price formula calculates the present value of a bond's future cash flows, including both the principal repayment at maturity and the periodic interest payments, discounted at the bond's yield rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the bond pricing formula:

\[ \text{Monthly Price} = \text{par} \times (1 + \text{monthly\_yield})^{- \text{months}} + \text{pmt} \times \text{annuity\_factor} \]

Where:

\( par \) — Face value of the bond (currency)
\( monthly\_yield \) — Monthly yield to maturity (unitless)
\( months \) — Number of months to maturity (unitless)
\( pmt \) — Periodic payment amount (currency)
\( annuity\_factor \) — Present value annuity factor (unitless)

Explanation: The formula combines the present value of the lump-sum principal repayment and the present value of the annuity of periodic payments.

3. Importance of Bond Pricing

Details: Accurate bond pricing is essential for both issuers and investors to determine fair value, assess investment opportunities, and make informed financial decisions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all required values in the specified units. The par value and payment should be in the same currency. Monthly yield should be entered as a decimal (e.g., 0.005 for 0.5%).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between annual and monthly bond pricing?
A: Monthly pricing uses monthly periods and monthly yield, while annual pricing uses annual periods and annual yield. The concepts are similar but the time periods differ.

Q2: How is the annuity factor calculated?
A: The annuity factor is typically calculated as: \( [1 - (1 + r)^{-n}] / r \) where r is the periodic rate and n is the number of periods.

Q3: What happens when yield equals coupon rate?
A: When yield equals coupon rate, the bond typically prices at par value.

Q4: Why does bond price change inversely with yield?
A: As yields rise, the present value of future cash flows decreases, lowering the bond price, and vice versa.

Q5: What are zero-coupon bonds?
A: Zero-coupon bonds don't make periodic payments (pmt = 0), so their price is just the present value of the par value.
