Price of bond = $1,798.27

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of bond for Gugenheim, Inc.can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

annul interest payment  

= 5.7% × 2000  = 138  

annual yield = 6.9%

Total period to maturity = 13 years

PV of interest payment = 114  × (1- 069^-13)/0.069=958.19

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

= 2,000 × (1.069)^(-13) = 840.078

Price of bond  =958.196089  +  840.078 =1,798.27

Price of bond = $1,798.27
