Hi, I have the following macro which i am trying to get the price of a bond but ends up giving me zero value. What could be the prblem?
Function PRICE364(settlement As Date, maturity As Date, rate As Double, yld As Double, redemption, frequency) 'Initialize Variables Dim COUPNCD As Date Dim COUPPCD As Date coup = 0 cppayleft_exact = (maturity - settlement) / (364 / frequency) CPPAYLEFT = WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(cppayleft_exact, 0) mosToMat = (CPPAYLEFT - 1) * (12 / frequency) mosToMatprev = (CPPAYLEFT) * (12 / frequency) COUPNCD = DateAdd("m", -1 * mosToMat, maturity) COUPPCD = DateAdd("m", -1 * mosToMatprev, maturity) N = CPPAYLEFT A = (settlement - COUPPCD) k = 1 e = 364 / frequency DCS = e - A yfactor = 1 + (yld / frequency) prin = redemption / (yfactor ^ (N - 1 + (DCS / e))) Do Until k = N + 1 num = 100 * (rate / frequency) den = yfactor ^ (k - 1 + (DCS / e)) coup = coup + (num / den) k = k + 1 Loop acr = 100 * (rate / frequency) * (A / e) PRICE = prin + coup - acr End Function The bond details are as follows Settlement date 31-10-2012 maturity date 22/4/2013 coupon rate 11.5% Yield to maturity 10.293% Frequency 2 Redemption is 100. The price i should be getting using actual/364 is 100.8238 but the above macro is giving me zero. Any ideas where the problem is?
