Companies often buy bonds to meet a future liability or cash outlay. Such an investment is called a dedicated portfolio since the proceeds of the portfolio are dedicated to the future liability. In such a case, the portfolio is subject to reinvestment risk. Reinvestment risk occurs because the company will be reinvesting the coupon payments it receives. If the YTM on similar bonds falls, these coupon payments will be reinvested at a lower interest rate, which will result in a portfolio value that is lower than desired at maturity. Of course, if interest rates increase, the portfolio value at maturity will be higher than needed. Suppose Ice Cubes, Inc. has the following liability due in five years. The company is going to buy bonds today in order to meet the future obligation. The liability and current YTM are below.

Amount of liability: $100,000,000
Current YTM: 7.5%

Required:
At the current YTM, what is the face value of the bonds the company has to purchase today in order to meet its future obligation? Assume that the bonds in the relevant range will have the same coupon rate as the current YTM and these bonds make semiannual coupon payments.
