The value (or price) of any financial asset-such as a bond-can be determined by summing the asset's discounted cash flows. There are three steps in the bond valuation processes:
1. Estimate the cash flows. For a bond, there are two types of cash flows: (1) the annual or semiannual coupon payments and (2) the recovery of principal at maturity, or when the bond is retired.
2. Determine the appropriate discount rate. The approximate discount rate is either the bond's yield to maturity (YTM) or a series of spot rates.
3. Calculate the PV (present value) of the estimated cash flows. The PV is determined by discounting the bond's cash flow stream by the appropriate discount rate(s).
