It involves calculating the present value of a bond's expected future coupon payments, or cash flow, and the bond's value upon maturity, or face value. The money supply has to decrease if you want interest rates to increase.Bond valuation is a process of determining the fair market price of the bond based on factors such as interest rates, bond payments, and time periods. We discuss how this would be calculated and derive the formula for the market price of bonds. The price of money is the nominal interest rate, the quantity is how much money people hold, supply is the money supply, and demand is the demand for money. Use the graph and the supply and demand for bonds to show what will happen to interest rates if there is a rise in the riskiness of bonds. There are four steps involved in calculating an amortizing bond's WAL. Assume a bond makes one payment per year. The demand for money is the relationship between the quantity of money people want to hold and the factors that determine that quantity. Define important bond features and types of bonds, explain bond values and yields and why they fluctuate, describe bond ratings.
