Answer:

The function/formula for PV is PV(Rate,Nper,PMT,FV) where Rate = YTM, Nper = Period, PMT = Coupon Payment and FV = Face Value of Bonds.

a. Miller Bond  

Here, Rate = 6%/2 = 3%, Nper = 18*2 = 36, PMT = 1,000*8%*1/2 = $40 and FV = $1,000 [we use 2 since the bond is semi-annual]  

Bond Price = PV(3%,36,40,1000)

Bond Price = $1,218.32

 

Modigliani Bond

Here, Rate = 8%/2 = 4%, Nper = 18*2 = 36, PMT = 1,000*6%*1/2 = 30 and FV = $1,000 [we use 2 since the bond is semi-annual]

Bond Price = PV(4%,36,30,1000)

Bond Price = $810.92

b.   1 Year from Now

Miller Bond

Here, Rate = 6%/2 = 3%, Nper = 18*2 = 34, PMT = 1,000*8%*1/2 = $40 and FV = $1,000 [we use 2 since the bond is semi-annual]  

Bond Price = PV(3%,34,40,1000)

Bond Price = $1,211.32

Modigliani Bond  

Here, Rate = 8%/2 = 4%, Nper = 17*2 = 34, PMT = 1,000*6%*1/2 = 30 and FV = $1,000 [we use 2 since the bond is semi-annual]

Bond Price = PV(4%,34,30,1000)

Bond Price = $815.89
