Concept explainers
(a)
To calculate:
Yield to maturity for two-year bond where bond with par value
Introduction:
Yield to maturity is the expected
b.(i)
To calculate:
Compound yield to maturity fora two-year bond where bond with par value
Introduction:
Yield to maturity is the expected rate of return on a held to maturity bond. However, it is the internal rate of return only in case of held to maturity bond as it makes the present value of future cash flows of bond and its current price equal.
b.(ii)
To calculate:
Compound yield to maturity fora two-year bond where bond with par value
Introduction:
Yield to maturity is the expected rate of return on a held to maturity bond. However, it is the internal rate of return only in case of held to maturity bond as it makes the present value of future cash flows of bond and its current price equal.

- Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?arrow_forwardBond Yields and Rates of Return A 10-year, 12% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 may be called in 4 years at a call price of 1,060. The bond sells for 1,100. (Assume that the bond has just been issued.) a. What is the bonds yield to maturity? b. What is the bonds current yield? c. What is the bonds capital gain or loss yield? d. What is the bonds yield to call?arrow_forwardYield to Maturity and Yield to Call Arnot International’s bonds have a current market price of $1,200. 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
- A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. Assume a face value of $1,000 and annual coupon payments. 1) If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? 2) What will be the rate of return on the bond? 3) If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real rate of return on the bond? Please show workings with formulas.arrow_forwardA 4 year maturity bond with a 14% coupon rate can bought for $1200.i- What is the yield to maturity if the coupon is paid annually? ii- What if it is paid semiannually?arrow_forwardA bond has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. a) If the bond has a yeild to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? b) What will be the rate of return on the bond? c) Now assume that interest is paid semannually. What will be the rate of return on the bond? d) If the inflation rate during the year is 3% what is the real rate of return on the bond?arrow_forward
- 2. A bond has a par value of $1,000, a time to maturity of 10 years, and a coupon rate of 8% with interest paid annually. If the current market price is $800, what will be the approximate capital gain yield of this bond over the next year if its yield to maturity remains unchanged?arrow_forwardWhat is the price of a bond with a coupon rate of 5.20% and semi-annual payments, if the yield-to-maturity is 10.20% and the bond matures in 20 years? Assume a par value of $1,000.arrow_forwardExample: You buy a 10-year maturity bond for the face value of $1,000 when the current interest rate is 9%. A year later, you sell the bond for $980. Assuming annual coupon payment, a. What is the new yield to maturity on the bond when you sell the bond? b. What's your holding period return during the year?arrow_forward
- An analyst observes a 10- year, 10% semi annual-pay bond. The face amount is £1,000. The analyst believes that the yield to maturity for this bond should be 15% based on this yield estimate, what would be the amount ? what is the method to solve this equation and the solution? Thank you.arrow_forwardConsider the following bond: Face value = 1000; coupon rate = 8%; maturity = 5 years; ytm = 7% A) What is the value of the bond today and in 2 years? b) what are the current yield and capital gains yield for this bond this year and in two years? c) Assuming interest rates remain the same over this bond's lifetime, what is going to happen to the value of this bond as time goes by?arrow_forwardA bond has 10 years until maturity, a coupon rate of 8.3%, and sells for $1,170. Interest is paid annually. ( Assume a face value of $1,000.) If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number. What will be the rate of return on the bond? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real rate of return on the bond? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.arrow_forward
