The present value of the face value (i.e. the maturity value) is calculated as follows: Therefore, the price of a bond is given by the following formula: Example 1: Bond with annual coupon payments. Company A has issued a bond having face value of $100,000 carrying annual coupon rate of 8% and maturing in 10 years. The market interest rate is 10%. The price of the bond is calculated as the present value of all future cash flows: Example 2: Bond with semiannual coupon payments. Company S has issued a bond having face value of $100,000 carrying coupon rate of 9% to be paid semiannually and maturing in 10 years.
We know that the Price Value of a Basis Point is the change in the value of a bond due to a 1 basis point change in the interest rates. You can use a spreadsheet to calculate the PVBP. Assume that you want to calculate the PVBP of a $1 million, 10 year bond, with a coupon of 6%. We will now calculate the PV of the bond, using r as 6% and 6.01%. The PV at 6% is 1,000,000, and the PV at 6.01% is 999,264.34.
