Section 4: Additional Financial Functions

To calculate bond price and yield for a 30/360 bond (that is, using the basis of a 30day month and a 360-day year — such as for municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and state and local government bonds), and to calculate bond price for bonds with an annual coupon payment, refer to Section 16: Bonds.

Bond Price

1.Enter the desired yield to maturity (as a percentage), using ¼.

2.Enter the annual coupon rate (as a percentage), using P.

3.Key in the settlement (purchase) date (as described on page 29), then press

\.

4.Key in the maturity (redemption) date.

5.Press fE.

The price is shown in the display and also is stored in the PV register. The interest accrued since the last interest date is held inside the calculator: to display the interest, press ~; to add the interest to the price, press +.

Example: What price should you pay on April 28, 2004 for a 63/4% U.S. Treasury bond that matures on June 4, 2018, if you want a yield of 81/4%. Assume that you normally express dates in the month-day-year format.
