Your firm has a credit rating of A. You notice that the credit spread for five-year maturity A debt is 85 basis points (0.85 % ). Your firm's five-year debt has an annual coupon rate of 6.5 %. You see that new five-year Treasury notes are being issued at par with an annual coupon rate of 1.9 %. What should be the price of your outstanding five-year bonds?

$1,172.97

Explanation:

We use the Present value formula i.e to be shown in the attached spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,  

Assuming figure Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 1.9% + 0.85% = 2.75%

NPER = 5 years

PMT = $1,000 × 6.5% = $65

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the price of the bond is $1,172.97

Secured loans are protected by collateral security. examples: title loans where the borrower uses the car title as collateral security interest rates are lower and repayments are longer therefore risk is low as a collateral security is given as guarantee to the bank in case of failure to pay the loanunsecured loans are not protected by collateral security but it is given on the creditworthiness of the borrower, trusting that she/he will pay on time. examples; payday loans is a short term loan where the borrower lends money from the bank and pays is back when the borrower receives his/her wages.interest rates are high and repayments are shorter. but the risk is high as no collateral security is given as a guarantee to the bank for payment of the loan
