Par Value
The principal amount of a bond that is repaid at the end of the term is called the "face value" or "par value." This is the amount that the bond issuer agrees to pay the bondholder upon maturity. It is also the basis for calculating interest payments, which are typically expressed as a percentage of the face value.
Type Face value
A zero-coupon bond is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value, with the face value repaid at the time of maturity. It does not make periodic interest payments, or have so-called "coupons," hence the term zero-coupon bond.
The yield to maturity of a bond generally decreases over time as the bond approaches its maturity date. This is because as the bond gets closer to maturity, the price of the bond tends to increase, which in turn lowers the yield to maturity.
The value of the bond that is paid back at maturity is known as the "face value" or "par value." This is the amount the issuer agrees to pay the bondholder at maturity, excluding any interest payments. The face value is typically set at $1,000 for corporate bonds, but it can vary based on the bond's terms.
A bond's face value is typically repaid to the bondholder at maturity. This represents the principal amount borrowed by the issuer, which is returned to investors along with any final interest payments.
The principle and interest.
The purchase price of a bond is called the "face value" or "par value" of the bond. This is the amount that the bond issuer agrees to repay the bondholder at maturity.
An accrual bond is a fixed-interest bond which is issued at face value and repaid at the end of the maturity period along with the accrued interest.
Type Face value
The bond's principal refers to the initial amount borrowed by the issuer and repaid at maturity, while the bond's par value is the face value of the bond that is used to calculate interest payments. In most cases, the principal and par value are the same, but they can differ if the bond is issued at a discount or a premium.
Bonds reach maturity when the principal amount paid for the bond is returned to the bondholder. At maturity, the bond issuer repays the face value of the bond to the bondholder, along with any remaining interest payments.
A zero-coupon bond is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value, with the face value repaid at the time of maturity. It does not make periodic interest payments, or have so-called "coupons," hence the term zero-coupon bond.
Bonds sold at face value, or par value, are issued at their nominal value, which is the amount the issuer agrees to pay the bondholder at maturity. For example, if a bond has a face value of $1,000, it will be sold for $1,000 when issued. Investors typically receive interest payments based on this face value until maturity, when they are repaid the full amount. Selling at face value indicates that the bond is not being sold at a premium or discount relative to its value.
The sale amount of a bond is called the face value or par value of the bond. It is the amount that the bond issuer agrees to repay to the bondholder upon maturity.
An element of bond business is a face value similar to the principal amount of loan.
The yield to maturity of a bond generally decreases over time as the bond approaches its maturity date. This is because as the bond gets closer to maturity, the price of the bond tends to increase, which in turn lowers the yield to maturity.
