I'm stuck with this practice problem comparing 2 bonds:
- Bond A is a 10-year bond, redeemed at par, with face amount of 100 and coupons payable semiannually at an effective interest rate of r per 6-month period and is currently selling at par. The nominal yield rate convertible semiannually is j.
- Bond B is a 10-year bond, with face amount of 300, redemption amount of C and coupons payable semiannually at an effective interest rate of 3r per 6-month period and is currently selling at par. The nominal yield rate convertible semiannually is j/4
i'm stuck on how to start this problem after writing the data
Bond A: n = 20, F = 100 = C, coupon rate = r/6months, and yield rate = j/2
Bond B: n = 20, F = 300, C = ?, coupon rate = 3r, yield rate = (J/4)/2 = J/2
