    Variables Financial Calculator Keys Figures

    Par Value/Face Value of the Bond [$1,000] = FV = 1,000

    Coupon Amount [$1,000 x 5.20% x ½] = PMT = 26

    Market Interest Rate or Yield to maturity on the Bond [29.60% x ½] = 1/Y = 14.80

    Maturity Period/Time to Maturity [4.50 Years x 2] = N = 9

    Bond Price = PV = ?

    Here, we need to set the above key variables into the financial calculator to find out the Price of the Bond. After entering the above keys in the financial calculator, we get the Price of the Bond (PV) = $413.70.

    "Hence, the amount that would be willing to pay for Bond is $413.70"
