Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note: $634,624.76 $895,940.83 $746,617.36 $470,368.94 Based on your calculations and understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statement: The T-note described in this problem is selling at a .

$746,617.36

Explanation:

Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate the price of the US Treasury note. I'm using Texas Instruments BA II Plus model;

Face value of the bond ; FV = 1,000,000

Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = Coupon rate * Face value ;

PMT= (3%/2) *1,000,000 = 15,000

Time to maturity of the note  ; N = 4*2 = 8

Semiannual interest rate;  I/Y = 11% /2 = 5.5%

then compute the Present value of bond or price; CPT PV = $746,617.36
