numerical answers should be calculated to at least two decimal places. Face value of bonds is taken as $100. assume coupon payments are paid once a year. Bond A: term to maturity=10 years, coupon rate = 9.75%, current price = $160.55. Find the current yield and yield to maturity of Bond A. Bond B: term to maturity-5 years, coupon rate = 11.25%, yield to maturity -2.35% p.a. Find the current price of Bond B. From your answer, what do say about this price when compared with the face value of the bond?
