ABC corporation has issued a series of bonds maturing in 3 years with face value of $1,000.  The bonds make annual interest payments of $120.  XYZ corporation has also issued a series of bonds maturing in 3 years with face value of $1,000.  However, XYZ's bonds will make annual interest payments of $60.  Currently, in the market, XYZ's bonds offer a yield of 20% while ABC corporation bonds offer a yield of 8%.  Calculate the current market prices of each corporation's bonds.  Is either corporate bond trading at below face value?

The market price of ABC corporation bonds are: PABC =   +   +   = $1,103.84. 
The market price of XYZ corporation bonds are: PXYZ =   +   +   = $705.09. 
XYZ corporate bonds are trading below face value.  The bond coupon rate is below the market yield for XYZ corporation.
