Summary Introduction

To Discuss:

The bond equivalent and effective annual yield to maturity of a 20-year maturity bond with par value $ 1000 that makes semiannual coupon payments at a coupon rate of 8%, if the bond price is:

  1. 950
  2. 1000
  3. 1050

Introduction:

A bond is a security that creates an obligation on the issuer to make specified payments to the holder for a given period of time.

The face value of the bond is the amount that the holder will receive on maturity along with the coupon rate which is also known as the interest rate of the bond.

Yield to maturity is termed as the discount rate that makes the present payments from the bond equal to its price. In simple terms, it is the average rate of return that a holder can expect from that bond.
