You are evaluating two similar bonds. Both mature in four years, both have a $1,000 par value, and both pay a coupon rate of 10 percent. However, one bond pays that coupon in annual installments, whereas the other makes semiannual payments. Suppose you require a 10 percent return on either bond. Should these bonds sell at identical prices or should one be worth more than the other? Use Equations 4.2a and 4.3a, and let r 10%. What prices do you obtain for these bonds? Can you explain the apparent paradox?
