You are given the following information from a T-Note quote:
Settlement date: September 15, 2017
Maturity date: September 15, 2032
Price Quote: 102:9
In excel, compute and graph the coupon rates and current yields for yields-to-maturity of 1% to 10%, in 1% increments. Which of the following accurately depicts this calculation?
It is assumed that the coupon frequency is annual
The annual coupon payment is calculated using PMT function in Excel :
rate = YTM
nper = 15 (there are 15 years left to maturity)
pv = -102.9 (current price of note)
fv = 100 (face value of note)
Coupon rate = coupon payment / 100
current yield = coupon payment / current price of note
