When performing the computation, it is important not to do any rounding during the
computation. If that is unavoidable, make sure to round somewhere up to 6 decimal places to be
as accurate as possible.
2. The bonds have a face value of ₱1,000,000. They pay interest of 10% every year. The bond
matures in 10 years. The prevailing market rate is 12%. How much is the value of the bonds?

The value is higher which means that the bonds are valued at a premium.
The bonds are more valuable compared to the prevailing market conditions.
4. The bonds have a face value of ₱5,000,000. They pay interest of 10% every year. The bond
matures in 5 years. The prevailing market rate is 12%. How much is the value of the bonds?

6. The bonds have a face value of ₱5,000,000. They pay interest semi-annually of 10% every year.
The bond matures in 5 years. The prevailing market rate is 12%. How much is the value of the
bonds?

Each interest payment in this case is computed as follows:
P = Nominal rate x Face value x Time elapsed in years
= 10% x 5,000,000 x 1/2 (because payments are made semi-annually)
= 250,000

7. The bonds have a face value of ₱5,000,000 and have a term of 5 years. The bonds contain a
sinking fund provision, where the issuer must pay ₱1,000,000 worth of bonds each year. Interest
is paid at 10% annually. The prevailing market rate is 12%. How much is the value of the bonds?
1,000,000 is paid every year. Thus, the face value has become an annuity of 1,000,000 each year.

On the other hand, the interest cannot be computed as an annuity. Because the principal
decreases each year, the interest to be paid will also decrease and is no longer uniform:
