You will get two templates inside the workbook:

  • Bonds that are sold in premium

You will have to provide very few inputs. The inputs are:

  • The face value of the bond
  • Stated Interest Rate / Nominal Interest Rate
  • Maturity Period of the Bonds (in Years)
  • Payment Frequency of the Bond in Every Year
  • Market Rate or Effective Interest Rate of the Bond

This template will output the Issue price of the Bond and show the other calculations.
