Due to a cash flow problem, the company will be unable to pay the interest payments for periods 8, 9, and 10. These missed payments will be repaid in one lump sum when the bond matures, without interest. If the Yield to Maturity (YTM) on similar bonds is 19%, what is the intrinsic value of this bond?
