Bond Valuation.
Bond value
Assume that McDonald\'s and Burger King have similar $1,000 par value bond issues outstanding. The bonds are equally risky. The Burger King bond has an annual coupon rate of 8 percent and matures 20 years from today. The McDonald's bond has a coupon rate of 8 percent, with interest paid semi-annually, and it also matures in 20 years. If the nominal required rate of return, kd, is 12 percent, semi-annual basis, for both bonds, what is the difference in current market prices of the two bonds?
