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

- Current Yield with Semiannual Payments A bond that matures in 7 years sells for $1,020. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 10.5883%. The bond pays coupons semiannually.

The bonds have an 11% annual coupon payment, a $1,000 face value, and 10 years left until maturity. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (call price = $1,090). What is the yield to maturity? What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds, and why? The bond’s indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call them at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, they may be called at 109% of face value, but in each of the next 4 years the call percentage will decline by 1 percentage point. Thus, in Year 6 they may be called at 108% of face value, in Year 7 they may be called at 107% of face value, and so on. If the yield curve is horizontal and interest rates remain at their current level, when is the latest that investors might expect the firm to call the bonds?arrow_forward
