Today you purchase a $600 face-value, 8% coupon bond for $600. This bond matures over 10 years. What is the value of the cash flow in year 5?

the value of the cash flow in year 5 is -$48

Explanation:

Cash flow in year 5 include a capital repayment and interest expense.This can be determined by constructing an amortization schedule from the data given.

The first step in constructing the amortization schedule is to find the Yield to Maturity.

Pv = -$600

Pmt = $600 × 8% = $48

P/yr = 1

N = 10

Fv = $600

YTM = ?

Using a Financial Calculator the Yield to Maturity is 8%.

then to determine the cash flow for year 5, we need the coupon amount (interest) and the amount of capital repayment.

Coupon  $48

Capital     $0

Total       $48

Therefore the cash flow in year 5 is -$48.
