PRICE(settlement, maturity, rate, yield, redemption, frequency, basis)

  • where 'settlement' is security's settlement date (a date when coupon or a bond is purchased),
  • 'maturity' is security's maturity date (a date when coupon or a bond expires),
  • 'rate' is security's annual coupon rate,
  • 'yield' is security's annual yield,
  • 'redemption' is security's redemption value per $100 face value,
  • 'frequency' is the number of coupon payments per year, and
  • 'basis' is the type of day count basis to use.

PRICE() calculates the price per $100 face value of security that pays periodic interest.

Description

PRICE(settlement, maturity, rate, yield, redemption, frequency, basis)

  • The function returns the price per $100 face value of security that pays periodic interest.
  • Settlement and maturity dates should be entered either in 'date format' or 'dates returned using formulas'. If dates are not valid, Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • If settlement date ≥ maturity date, Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • 'rate' and 'yield' values must be greater than or equal to zero, else Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • 'redemption' value must be greater than zero, else Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • The values for 'frequency' should be 1,2 or 4.

For Annual payment, frequency = 1,

For Semi-annual payment, frequency = 2,

For Quarterly payment, frequency = 4.

  • 'basis' value is optional. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be 0.

Below table shows the use of 'basis' values:

Basis Description
0 US (NASD) 30/360
1 Actual/actual
2 Actual/360
3 Actual/365
4 European 30/365
  • If 'basis' value is other than 0 to 4, Calci displays #N/A error message.
