Examples 🔗
Assume you purchase a bond on January 15, 2022, with a maturity date of December 31, 2024. The bond was issued on July 1, 2021, and the first coupon payment is due on September 30, 2022. The bond has an annual coupon rate of 4%, an expected annual yield of 5%, a redemption value of $1,000, and pays semi-annually. To calculate the price per $100 face value, you would use the ODDFPRICE formula as follows: =ODDFPRICE("01/15/2022", "12/31/2024", "07/01/2021", "09/30/2022", 0.04, 0.05, 1000, 2)
Consider a bond purchased on March 10, 2021, with a maturity date of October 15, 2023. The bond's issue date is January 1, 2021, and the first coupon payment is on April 15, 2021. The bond offers a 3% annual coupon rate, an expected yield of 4%, a redemption value of $500, and pays quarterly. The ODDFPRICE formula for calculating the price per $100 face value in this case would be: =ODDFPRICE("03/10/2021", "10/15/2023", "01/01/2021", "04/15/2021", 0.03, 0.04, 500, 4)
