Question 1184249:  A certain bond pays coupons of Php 5,000 every six months for:  
Given:  
	Semi-annual coupons = 1,000 
	Face value = 120,000 
	Time to maturity = 8 years 
	Market rate = 6% 
The bondholder receives 16 payments of Php 5,000 each, and Php 120,000 at t = 8 
Find:  
	Bond price =  
	Present value of Interest Payment =  
	Number of periods =  
	Present Value of Lumpsum =

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! There seems to be a discrepancy in the given information. You state that the bond pays coupons of Php 5,000 every six months, but then give "Semi-annual coupons = 1,000".  I will assume the semi-annual coupon payment is Php 5,000, as this aligns with the total payments received.  The Php 1,000 figure will be disregarded.
 
Here's the corrected calculation:
 
**1. Number of Periods (n):**
 
* Time to maturity = 8 years 
* Semi-annual payments: 8 years * 2 periods/year = 16 periods
 
**2. Semi-Annual Coupon Payment (C):**
 
* C = Php 5,000
 
**3. Semi-Annual Market Rate (r):**
 
* Annual market rate = 6% 
* Semi-annual market rate = 6% / 2 = 3% or 0.03
 
**4. Present Value of Interest Payments (PV of Annuity):**
 
PV of Interest = C * [1 - (1 + r)^-n] / r 
PV of Interest = 5000 * [1 - (1 + 0.03)^-16] / 0.03 
PV of Interest = 5000 * [1 - (1.03)^-16] / 0.03 
PV of Interest = 5000 * [1 - 0.623167] / 0.03 
PV of Interest = 5000 * [0.376833] / 0.03 
PV of Interest = 5000 * 12.5611 
PV of Interest ≈ Php 62,805.50
 
**5. Present Value of Lump Sum (PV of Face Value):**
 
PV of Lump Sum = FV / (1 + r)^n 
PV of Lump Sum = 120,000 / (1.03)^16 
PV of Lump Sum = 120,000 / 1.604701 
PV of Lump Sum ≈ Php 74,772.10
 
**6. Bond Price:**
 
Bond Price = PV of Interest + PV of Lump Sum 
Bond Price = 62,805.50 + 74,772.10 
Bond Price ≈ Php 137,577.60
 
**Summary:**
 
* **Bond Price:** Approximately Php 137,577.60 
* **Present Value of Interest Payments:** Approximately Php 62,805.50 
* **Number of Periods:** 16 
* **Present Value of Lump Sum:** Approximately Php 74,772.10
