- What is a bond's yield to maturity (YTM)? A. The expected return you'll earn if the bond issuer defaults B. The return you have made if you sell the bond today C. The same as the bond's coupon rate D. The return you'll earn if you hold the bond to maturity and yields stay the samearrow_forwardConsider a $1,000-par-value Bond with the following characteristics: a current market price of $761, 12 years until maturity, and an 8% coupon rate. We want to determine the discount rate that sets the present value of the bond’s expected future cash-flow stream to the bond’s current market price. You are required to determine the discount rate that equates the present value of the bond?arrow_forwardUse the following table to find the bond value: a. Price the bonds from the above table with annual coupon payments. b. Price the bonds from the above table with semiannual coupon payments.arrow_forward
- A bond has a market price that exceeds its face value. Which one of these features currently applies tothis bond?Select one:a. Yield to maturity less than the coupon rate.b. Currently selling at par.c. Current yield greater than coupon rate.d. Yield to maturity equal to the current yield.e. Discount bond.arrow_forwardPlease see attached. Definitions: Coupon is the regular interest payment of a bond. Coupon rate is the interest rate for the bond coupons, expressed in annual percentage terms. Par value is the principal amount to be repaid at the maturity of the bond. Yield to maturity (YTM) is the return the bond holder receives on the bond if held to maturity. Maturity date is the expiration date of the bond on which the final interest payment is made as well as the principal repayment.arrow_forwardInvestigating the principle that all bonds are priced to give the same total yield which is the current market rate of interest. REQUIRED: Create your own bond – i.e. the par value may be kept at 1000, but decide your own coupon rate, maturity period and current market rate of interest. Now compute your total yield which should consist of Current Yield plus Capital Gain/Loss Yield and find out if it equates the market rate of interest that you selected.arrow_forward
