How do investors calculate the net present value of a bond? If a bond's coupon payment is C, the interest rate is R, and the bond's coupon payment is made in each period for T years at which time the original principal, P, is repaid, then the bond's present discounted value (PDV) is C A. PDV = + (1 + R) (1 + R? (1 + R)T B. PDV = C(1 + R) + C(1 + R)2 - + C(1 + R)T + P(1 + R)T + C P OC. PDV = - + R R2 RT RT C D. PDV = P + C C (1 + R) (1+R)2 (1 + R)T C E. PDV = + + + + (1 + R) (1+ R)2 (1 + R)T (1 + R)T If the interest rate is 9 percent, what is the present value of a perpetuity that pays $50,000 each year, forever?
